Finally taking the plunge into bi-plane land...

Daunting but here goes. I shall post updates for those who want to follow this build.

I will follow as I have this kit sitting in my stash where it may very well make an appearance with the next group build.

Cheers,

Jeff

Cockpit in progress. I have some Eduard photoetch on order to enhance the poor Kit instrument panel and decal harness.

Look good so far! A beautiful plane!

Looks like you're off to a good start. I have the Classic Airframes kit waiting to be built. Got cheap because the decals were crap in the box.

Upper wing being prepped for camo and weathering prior to assembly. Wouldn't dare risk doing it once glued together..

Upper surface of wing camo with Alclad Klear Kote on for decals. Plus some work on the wheels. STILL waiting for my cockpit photo etch..

 

[Crimea_River]

Neat!

Wash and weathering started on upper wing.....still no sign of my cockpit stuff...at a halt now.

Very nice so far. I just purchased a bi-plane which may or may not be started.
