 Hi Jase Im glad you like the build so far as for the paint I used Lifecolours: IJN Hinoki Deck Tan from there camouflage series of colours. Its a little darker than Tamiya deck tan but I knew the oils used in the weathering would lighten the tone.

Hi Gray The wingnut kits are the brainchild of Peter Jackson of LOTR fame who had a private passion for accurate model kits of 1st WW model kits that he could build for himself. Link here to know more:- http://www.hyperscale.co...res/wwinterviewdw_1.htm
The detail makes these kits easy to build straight from the box with just rigging wires and paint to make a nice build. Thanks for looking in and your comments. Andy Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Well done on your build so far, looking good.

I always wondered if that is why these kits are so cheap.it is more of a hobby for Peter Jackson.They used to offer free shipping for New Zealand and they are priced way too cheaply for the quality of the kits in my opinion.

Hi All The engine was made up and then sprayed with ALclad II after that the ignition wires were added and a wash was used on the engine. Masked up the underwings ready for the chocolate brown upper surfaces, once the brown was dry more masking of the front fuselage area to add the grey paint. I have now started to add the decals before some more weathering is done. More soon Andy arpurchase attached the following image(s): Current builds:-C57,Zero, Lamborghini Countach, Caldercraft HMS Agamemnon,Robi,R2-D2, MFH Cobra .

Hi All The decals were added to the wings and ailerons and then the ailerons fitted to the wings, you can see the difference in colour with the unweathered ailerons. The engine was glued in position and the cowl added after the decals were applied. The rest of the fuselage decals were added at this point a great deal of small tags were applied after the large decals. The decals will be left for 24 hours to dry out and then weathering will commence. More soon.

Looks good Andy, a very eye-catching scheme, really like the look of that especially the stripes on the engine cowl.
Well done
