Heres the disaster recovery as best as i can ...

I have painted over and around alot of the flat base but basically its spoiled .. I will try some real pics ( these were just with my phone ) but its a shame as its a pretty little plane. To be fair it looks less bad in softer light

Onwards and wont do that again !!

Not a lot wrong with this my friend, a damn good representation of a battle weary, much use and probably much loved machine.

Well said Vic.

Thinking along similar lines Vic...don't be too hard on yourself Dave !

Thanks guys

As the paint was so " textured " after the flat base incident i decided to somewhat over play the weathering and leave a little of the greyed out effect here and there to make it look very faded. I convinced myself that these were probably shipped over to spain from russia , had markings hastily applied and then poorly maintained... i have to say the photos do make it look a bit rougher than it does to the naked eye ...

You did say the magic words tho matey..... Softer light I think it was.......

As i know, most parts of the fuselage should be plywood and the wing is fabric....
