Thank you for the kind comments!

Scott, for a CR42 there is a really nice one: Italeri 1/48 or 1/72 as you wish...

Profa

Scott, you won't miss with Italeri's CR.42, especially because there's no rigging, except Xs between interplane struts ;)
D.VII is much easier to rig, in my opinion...

No problem, Scott; always interresting to speak about one of my favourite biplanes...

OK, onto the DH2: just sprayed today white primer. No photo taken; it's just white you know...

To spare some time for the build, I've decided not to use oil paints for wood rendering. So, I've opted for airbrushing Vallejo Wood on the propeller ans the instrument panels. That color is brown/beige/yellow; I will follow in the next few days by a drybrush with Vallejo Woodgrain. I've previously used that technique, the result is excellent.

Sorry but no photo, my camera is inaccessible for a few days...

Yes mate, I fully agree because it's one of the method I'm using for my Albatroses plywood rendering.

But one problem is that Vallejo is a very fragile paint. There is a difference between drawing nerves in the wood and covering all the surface.
On the other hand, I previously used also Vallejo woodgrain drybrushed on Vallejo wood and the result is also great. So, I used woodgrain today and you will see photos of the result soon (for the week-end I hope): I'm particularily happy with the propeller...

...Forget to say that I've also panted the seatbelt. To have a tone difference with the color used for dope, I used for the seatbelt Mister Kit French beige.

I agree about the Vallejo, they are poor adhere to the surface, surface must be much prepared before using them.
