Re: Arc's Tumult In The Clouds..
Thank you!
Some progress made
God, macro is unkind to paintwork
The strut alignment was (surprisingly) easy.. and as you can no doubt see, lots of whiskers hanging off the top wing. I'll let the struts get a full 24 hour cure and then it'll be a matter of finishing off the rigging, sorting out the undercarriagen paint touch ups and decals/ weathering.. finish line in sight for this one.
As for the Nieuport.. SWMBO is making slow progress, but we're getting there.
Thanks for looking!

Who's got two thumbs and put the underwing crosses on the fuselage?
*points at self with big toe*
Geez. Some days I think I should just go back to stamp collecting

Re: Arc's Tumult In The Clouds..
I think you're doing a grand job even if you got the decals wrong which if you hadn't said anything I doubt anyone would've noticed
Enjoyment over accuracy. That's my motto

Re: Arc's Tumult In The Clouds..
Sadly, no. Continuing my 100% DNF run in GBs. It's crunch time in college (five essays on the go simultaneously) and I can't get near the bench.

That's a shame Arc. Crack on with this once your essays are done.

Re: Arc's Tumult In The Clouds..
Those essays do need to come first.
Finish these off when you get free time again.
