Goodness - less a lozenge than a patchwork quilt....

And more lozenges on! The upper part of the upper wing is now almost finished.

Good stuff!

If I'd thought about it at the time, I could have done a model of the SE5a that appears in the film!

Weren't the SE5As in the film converted Slingsbys?

These ESCI kits are simple and a bit crude, but they go together quickly. It's only the faffing about with the camo decal that slowing this build down.

No, the two SE5as were full-scale replicas built specially.

For the film Darling Lili, there were indeed six scaled-down replicas built for the film, which I think were based on the Currie Wot biplane.

Guess what I did this afternoon?

Yup, added some more lozenge camo. Just to shake things up a bit, some of it is the underside lozenge camo on the upper wing.

Looking really good Andrew. Are you adding individual rib tapes too?
