I can only echo what the others have said- outstanding model! The old gal sure cleaned up nicely from her silver dope or TSS colors! I had never seen this scheme before, either- now I wish I had snagged the decal sheet when it was available. Put this one in an acrylic cube or display case; need to show her off and you don't want to have to dust amongst all that rigging! Well done, sir!

Wow, it might have been a difficult build that maybe gave you a few grey hairs but what a job you've made of that, GMG. First class, it looks brilliant in that livery.

Talk about a stunner! This baby is quite a head-turner and is worthy of pride-if-place on your display shelf!

That is a yellow wing with a difference! I had not seen this scheme before - very striking indeed. Biplanes are not the easiest of models - large ones in particular are not - that model is a tribute to a skilled modeller.
