Nice work.
I too rediscovered the fun to be had doing it 'old school' on my oast build.

Thanks guys

I'll be posting my progress in hours time as I need to airbrush a white band as I hate painting white

HI guys here are the photos as I promised and I'm greatly to tell you it's done more pics will be at the reveal section.
Last night I painted the upper fuselage with desert yellow as I want to build it based in north africa
This morning I masked up the plane the airbrush the white band before here is the boxart and colour planning
Then is followed by the camo. I use a old stiff brush to do it but not on the wings and even at the final bits and touch ups
The decals were as good as I expected although there's slight yellowing
After leaving it to dry here's the completed kit
ALL together it's an enjoyable kit to build and I hope to built it somemore
Cheers,
Matthew

Awesome build of a very interesting subject! I reckon a Fiesler Storch would look good next to her (that's a build I want to do anyway lol)
