Really love it! Well worth the extra work.
Will you now be giving it a flat coat?

In my defense I'm fighting off a cold (travel crud) and I worked in the yard 4 hours getting it back in shape after not cutting for 12 days. It was a mess.

I'm at war with our 3 acres of yard and 7 acres of pasture. Can't imaging doing it while sick.
For a moment I thought about just lighting it all on fire

Fantastic job Bob!

Pin wash on the wing ribs.

I guess I didn't seal the underside of the wings as well as the top side, mineral spirits attacked the paint. It's not bad, ads some randomness to the finish.

Flat coat next.

The best looking WWI build so far! I really like how the streaking turned out.

 

[Tim A.]

I'm gonna say it again...Fantastic paint work!

 

[moon puppy]

I'm humbled with the complements.

Amazing what a flat coat does. Testers Dulcoat.

I don't know what's going on with that right aileron. Maybe it was still damp when I shot the photo.

See the damage to the blue. Screw it, it stays. Happy little accident.

Cowling stays shiny.

Nice that the turnbuckle is visible down in the cockpit.
Some oil splatters down the fuselage and mud around the wheels and tail should do it.

 

[Tim A.]

Jeez Bob, It's fantastic!

 

[Heavens Eagle]

Don't forget the greasy castor oil deposits on the underside of the Fuselage and lower wing center.
