Darren- I don't know whether some of the others here realise that that propeller is hand drawn and painted by you !!!  Just thought I should mention it.  It's brilliant by the way.

Hi all, thanks again for all the comments.

An update on the build so far the wings lower now complete, these have taken a long time todo, post shaded/weathered with pastal chalk i find i can keep the weathering down ( Jasta 37 kept very tidy planes) with just shading to give the ribs some depth and make the fabric looked stretched over a frame, below the top wing is not shaded.

Main wing is now having rib tapes applied.

My oil staining and last weathing will be done on final assembly.

The hair dryer tip has worked really well thanks.

I swear I read the label on the bottle in the third picture as "Laxative"!! I won't say, in polite company, what went through my mind !

 

Those wings are just gorgeous Darren! Keep 'em coming!

Yup, my gut is telling me I'll never achieve the skills on show here - very, very clever.

Hi  again thanks for all the great comments....update topwing now complete bottom wings are now fitted just finding the time, thought i could get more time in last weekend but the sun came out! oh yes it did!!! and guess who had to tidy the garden ect ect... well i am hoping to get this fininshed in the next few weeks so i can start on the GW GB.

Again i have shaded the rib area with pastal chalk applied with a fine brush to give a frame affect, worked on the alierons as i lost the rib once the decals where put on, what do you think?
