Thought it a bit strange Scott and being me I did not pick up on it. Thanks for your very kind apology which are not necessary but very nice all the same. :) Also thanks for your nice note on the "camo". o_O

And so back again in good state after 6 weeks of grot antibiotics continual coughing and feeling yucks. No commiserations I might feel weepy :P

Started on weathering etc. Spent a lot of thought how to go about it ie technique. Streaking used .34 needle/nozzle at about 8 psi. Used Lifecolour and Vallejo mediums. Nice product thins the paint colour without losing the body of the paint. Gives more time for swiping backwards and forwards with out spraying to much paint. Mix 66% medium 33% pa

Streaking on the wings more to highlight the undulation of the fabric over the spars rather than any colour change in the doped fabric. In photos there is no change to the fabric except random dirt. So low key hopefully to highlight the top of the ribs.

Looking good Laurie. Be keen to see the rigging process when the time comes.
 
Coming along nicely Laurie.Looking forward to seeing how you do the rigging.
 
This is looking really good Laurie. The testing and prep work on the painting stage is impressive.

Cheers

Awesome work Laurie. The salty weathering effect has worked nicely. You can see how effective against the new looking decals. Nice job on the rigging too.
 
Looking very nice indeed Laurie. I really want one of these now. :rolleyes:

Get one Ian you will enjoy it. First 1/72 in a couple of years as a little interval. It has been a delight to construct and now well on the way to finish. Must be as old as the hills but it goes together well with lots of things to occupy the mind.

Well if I lived in Australia Moni looking upside down all the time may have been a problem. He he :D

Another naughty one Moni (I will allow you to throw brick bats) :oops:. This aircraft was designed as a private venture from a response to a 1929 Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) request . So now you know why it is a bit weird looking.:eek::oops::rolleyes:

Laurie

PS thank you for your response Moni ;)
