Arc's Tumult In The Clouds..

To build a pairing of machines which would have had a dog-fight, which is the general term for fighter aeroplanes fighting each other. It does not include bomber interception, or missile attacks, but does include "dogfight" type combat of ships, AFV, Sci-Fi, etc.

Looking great Arc - I love the purple wings!

The wood effect looks great!

Thank you!

Some progress made

God, macro is unkind to paintwork :oops:

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.

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

The art mistress at my old school had a similar effect on me as well :)

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.

Those essays do need to come first.
Finish these off when you get free time again.
