Looks for Eduard kits Heinz, I saw a few the other day when I was buying my Corsair.

Looks good as always Wayne!

 

[Heinz]

I'll keep an eye for them.

Thanks Catch

Ah, Track I would love to take the credit , but most are not actually mine...

 

[Wayne Little]

...and this one was the winner of the class!

 

[Catch22]

Looks amazing! The camo schemes on those planes are really cool.

 

[Heinz]

That is amazing!

 

[Screaming Eagle]

nice!

 

[A4K]

Another WW I

 

[A4K]

Great shots, Wayne! Would a canvas covered aircraft be that shiny though? (even the prop looks polished)

 

[Wurger]

Cool shots of WW1 aircraft collection Wayne.

 

[A4K]

The forum is a much better place with you around Wojtek! Great to have you back!

probably not....but I guess it would depend on the paint used?
Can't say that I'm a WW I expert.

my gut feeling is another matt coat should have been applied....?

Taking it into consideration that WW I aircraft were made of wood and the gloss varnish was used for preservation mostly ( sometimes smelled like bannanas for instance ) and matt paints weren't as much popular as these during WW II, I think these models look correctly.But this is my opinion only.

 

[Wayne Little]

yeah, didn't think of the doping angle, Wurger good point....

 

[Wurger]

THX

 

[Wayne Little]

Found one more...

 

[Catch22]

Ah, an American one?

 

[Trebor]

is that a Nieuport? I think those are the nicest looking of all the planes in WWII, besides the Sopwith Camel
