    A layer of bright paint really makes all the small flaws stand out.

    (I repeat) I really like the enamel microfilling process, Allan @kalamazoo!
    Looking good!

    Thanks Erik, it does ! ---------
    Thanks Spiros, although it sometimes takes more than one application.

    A fresh coat of blue on and masking for an over all coat of brown.

    Thanks Spiros, most of the green on, except for the nose, which still needs a bit of work !

    Thank you my friend, the 3 view shows no green on the lower wing but just looking at the box cover in the heading of this post it does !

    More green on, now for the fun of adding the top wing !

    Those demarcation lines are absolutely realistic: hard, but not lifeless, like they could have been by masking only with tape.
    Congratulations, my friend @kalamazoo!
    Looking forward to your biplaning it!

    I do think you may be right about the camo on the lower wing. It would make perfect sense to include it as you have done Allan.

    Thank you Spiros, blu tack allows adjustment of the edge as well, the larger the roll the fuzzier the edge !
    Thank you Erik, the 3 view misled me.

    Wing struts on the lower wing with a bit of adjustment to fit the top wing ! and painted green.
