Thanks, Luiz!
Thanks, Bob!
Thanks, Ian!
No decals for the white/red markings. {I wouldn't have used them anyway, so ….} Mask & Paint!
KInd of a pain in the tail masking around all of the detail and rivets. This thing is not what you could remotely call "aerodynamic". :laugh:
I used some more of the AK chipping fluid before the r/w paint. Some creep under the tape. :idonno
Thanks for looking.
Cheers,

That chipping affect is amazing! Is that color a mix of the hull red and brown?
Really nice work Bill!

Thanks, Dr. S!
As a disclaimer, acknowledgment and gerenral "I'm not worthy" bowdown, I want to admit that I am unashamedly following John Tolcher's outstanding SBS that he did on the Emhar model. He turned that lump of coal into a diamond, and shared his work along the way. I first saw in in T&T, and later found it here in MSC.

I had to look that one up, and ended up watching the whole scene on You-tube. Thanks!
So, I think the answer is no. I guess the one in the movies is a Mark7. Probably of the same time vintage, but not one I have seen pictures of in action in WW1.
I think that "they" (movie types) fabricated a Mark4 copy for the movie "War horse" out of a modern tractor or earth mover.I think it was only in the movie for a few seconds. Look that one up if you are curious. :idonno

I clear coated with future to seal everything, and then applied the limited decals. I the used the AK chipping fluid again as an undercoat for a dirt spray on the lower sections of the hull. I would have preferred a little less contrast (too clean above, and too dirty below), but live and learn. Pin wash of oil and enamel brown and black.
I need to wrap this up. I think I might make it before midnight.
