    Decals look like they came out OK, @yann. I have never tried using liquid cement on a decal. Looks like it worked.

    Luckily you were able to correct the decals, Yann @yann
    They all look fine now I would say.
    The Hurri starts to look great.

    @yann - if you are going to have the ailerons displaced, you need to modify the "up" aileron. On modern aircraft (since around 1920) the aileron only goes up 1/2 - 1/3 the distance the other goes down. This is to lessen adverse aileron yaw.

    Thank you very much for the advice Tom @tcinla. I tried to correct it in a lower position, I think it is more appropriate what do you think?

    Very nice progress, Yann @yann
    To me that aileron looks much better this way.

    Hello guys, that will be my last post for this project before going to the highlights. This end end of the week I succeed to complete de varnish, the remaining plexis, exhausts and propelers. The only remaining thing is to fix the prop.

    Looks beautiful Yann @yann
    The varnish gave it a great finish.
    Are you also intending to attach the antenna wire?
