Upper wing finished at last - took 9 pieces of tissue to cover (7 on top, 2 below)! |

| Hey Chris, What in the range of microscopic do you consider minor? The hardest part is over. But don't let it happen again, OK; LOL....Looks fab. |

| LOL! At least I shouldn't have as much trouble with the lower wing as the fuselage will sit on top of most of it. |

| Chris I think you should upload even larger versions of this picture so we can see that even you produce imperfections. :) |

| You're probably right John, but I am and always have been a bit of a perfectionist! PB, thanks, but the Hendon visit is this coming Sunday (9th) - if anyone would like specific reference photos please see my post at Guillow's own forum. Poppy, thanks, and good luck with the op. |

| This looks fine to me. The center section cutout of a biplane is generally the most difficult because of the compound curves. Good job!! |

| Nice job...I bet that there were blemishes on the real planes also! |

| cd, your superb and meticulous building is always inspirational. BTW, I hope you had fun at the RAF (?) Museum. Did you take more pics of Spits and Hurricanes? |

| This bit was VERY tricky - much more so than I'd imagined - especially at the trailing edge where the two diagonal pieces connect different sized wing ribs. It's turned out almost perfect, but there are a couple of minor blemishes that most people wouldn't even notice. I know they are there though, and my eyes are immediately drawn to them! |

Centre of upper wing now covered. |

Tailplane water sprayed prior to doping. Being kept flat with some spice jars raided from the kitchen cupboard! |

| This looks just fine as is. |

| Got this kit brand spanking new in my hangar, a Nieuport and Fokker started many, many years ago need covering. One day I'll get on a WWI run but until then, you guys just keep banging 'em out. BTW, plenty of detailing, and again really like the green tissue. Keep the updates coming. |

| Nice headrest. |

| cd...there is such potential herem akes me want to detail! |
| cdwheatley, Comment for image # 4300 | 31 Aug 07 11:35 |
| It's not much I know, but I'm afraid that this is as far as my level of detailing goes as I have neither the time nor the inclination to add any more to my models. I will leave the super detailing to those of you with more ability and opportunity! |

Instrument panel. Cockpit finished now. |
| cdwheatley, Image # 4299 | 31 Aug 07 11:24 |
Painted and fixed in place. Hopefully you will agree that it at least resembles padded leather and matches the coaming. |
| cdwheatley, Image # 4298 | 31 Aug 07 11:23 |
Shaped balsa headrest...sorry about the slightly blurred pic, think I need to use the macro setting in future! |
