Thanks, more work later today as well images. Problem- it have silver rigging and this is a bit problem. Must take a look on what type of wires I have

This camo scheme is a hard one on a biplane, but you're going great here!

[No.1]

Thank you mate It is standard biplane pattern of the time where the topside was in Dark Earth and Dark Green while the bottom was in Light Earth and Light Green

[Second Air Force]

Yes, I did one of those schemes on my old Gladiator thread but I didn't like that much masking! (Lazy in my old age, I reckon.)

Your rigging will be a little bit of a challenge as Gloster used airfoil shaped flying wires for the diagonal bracing. You might recall that I painted thin strips of styrene to replicate them but I don't really think that was the best answer. Too bad someone doesn't produce ultra-small airfoil rigging for 1/48!

There was some airfoil strut products but I think I will use micro tube for that purpose... hope I will make it
