Looking fantastic! Paintjob, assembly and details are just perfect in my mind! 👍 👍

Thank you mates! As soon as I have new air screw decals I will add them.
A good thing that this project was done in one go, not interrupted by others and not ended up as shelf queen.
@Agustin The base is only used a photo base. My models are in a glass cabinet with light from all sights, so a base would block to much light, so also no figure. Instead of paint figures I'm doing more biplanes😉

Thank you Rui!
I hope that I can add some air screw decal soon, the one I own was much to big.

All the established "classics" are there - the engine, the propeller, the insane rigging (all getting ever more formidable, when one considers how much of it is model and what all is scratch work...), but this time the hero is definitely the paint-job. Had a look at the box-art & thought - "wait, I can do this better..." ? 🙂 In any case, you did it, great job, checked the build story too and that only makes it more of an achievement 👍

It is always a pleasure for me to read your detailed and wonderful comments 👍 Only a model builder can realize what is really behind such model. Thank you very much, Slavo!

They look so fake.... color pictures did start decades later 😉 other than that, just like reference pictures. Amazing

Thank you mates!
Ok Spanjaard, you are right, so I added a new picture.
But I have also a excuse: of course also the pilots of that time were able to see their biplanes in color, so the pictures shows the pilots view 😉

One day, I will be good enough to attempt a biplane. Until then, I have Bughunter to follow! And I love the colour pics!
