Definitely have to give a try to this Vallejo woodgrain, seems as the easiest way to render wooden texture :-think
Looks really good! :-ok

Thank you Sall & Profa!

Profa, I agree that for me the Vallejo are of an easy use for wood rendering, but for dark wood only. If you wish light wood (like Albatros fuselage) then you can use Vallejo Wood + aequous pencils for nerves (I use Caran d'Ache Chestnut for that)

No, for that I use Vallejo Model Color dark flesh or some similar creamy shade for base (Vallejo flat flesh, base flesh, Humbrol 74, 103, 148), and then oil paint burnt umbra for texture itself...
For me until now the best way for acquiring dark wood was Hu74 as base and old Precision RLM26 brown as top coat (look at my Spad propeller and struts).

There are so many ways to paint plywood and wood... I will give a try with a flesh base!

Anyway, today I've worked on the propeller (used Citadel Colors Boltgun Metal); painted the structure elements of the cockpit interior in light gray (that is a little bit darker than showed under artificial light) and finished to remove all the parts needed by the deco I've chosen from the sprues...
