Bravo!!Very good job.Very,very good! Hope i will have your skill one day!

Thank you Sall! And yes, you will surely work better than me. There are no secret, it's the same for everybody: to learn, and to apply what you've learned...

I finished with what was a very patient work, but what a jewel!!!

With the machinegun, Eduard did a fantastic job of detailing! I have chosen to glue all the elements before painting; that will be made with a paintbrush of course.

...And now, I'm drinking a good, strong coffee...

Thank you Profa! I understand what you mean with Roden, there is a big difference of quality with Eduard. Roden makes honnest job; Eduard makes jewels...

As I was zen this morning, I've continued the work with the PE...

Thanks, mate. But it was not a piece of cake, the elements are soooo tiny...

First step today: I corrected a big mistake I made in the cockpit!

The upper side of the interior was metal and no fabric; so it had to be painted in grey and not dope... I made the correction with a nr1 paintbrush and Vallejo Light Grey.

I simply cannot live with such mistakes under my eyes...

Well, to present the kit on the forum I will finish it without rigging. Rigging will be made, but later. On that aircraft it's so difficult - and I'm really a nervious guy - that I will limit the operation to one or two rigs per day. Of course that will take many time, that's why I prefer to present it without the haubans...
Tomorrow I will work principally on the DH2. Have some minor corrections to do; some photoetch to place and then we will begin the painting phase - Sorry for the delays; those last weeks I'm unguilty...

Congratulations for your researches, Profa...
Problem with WWI aircrafts is that there are few certitudes and numerous questions...
