That's looking really good. Top job.

Remember this from my youth, did Airfix produce this at one time ?

 

[Tim Marlow]

Revell did it in 1/72 John, are you thinking of that one?

Might well have been that Tim, this would have been in the early 60's . Woolies was the favorite shop on a Saturday for buying a model. Does that sound right ?

 

[Mark1]

Painted a few details and got a gloss coat on ready for decals.

 

[Mark1]

Decals on.

 

[outrunner]

Fairly looking the part now.

Buying? Not where I lived --- !

Just a quick update on this,coming together now,not sure I'll attempt the rigging to be honest, I have a 1.28 spad bit of crappy looking kit but probably a good one to have a go at rigging given the size of it.

Coming on very nicely indeed.

Well done.

Hi Mark
That has come on really nicely. I always think the decals on a plane bring it to life.

[Tim Marlow]

Looking very fine in her war paint Mark.

 

[Archetype]

That's looking very good.

Don't be put off the rigging. It's not too difficult once you get going and it can make a big difference.

 

[Mark1]

Thanks for the likes and comments

 

[Mark1]

Hopefully I got it grubby enough without going ott!!

 

[Airborne01]

Oh, nice!

 

[Tim Marlow]

Nice staining on the doped linen.

Very well done indeed.

Bit of weathering done on the topside now, machine gun and some clear parts to go on after a matt coat and some exhaust soot down the sides.
My have a go at rigging,got to try it at some point as I really like building these biplanes.
