I built this and two other kits waiting on a water theme GB on another forum all in one month cranking.I hope it's as pleasing to your eyes as it was to build.

Nice! I have been eyeing this same aircraft in card in 1/33 scale. I'm a sucker for brightly colored biplanes.

Thanks Alan the build took me about two weeks is OOB as much as I could get.I lost a climbing handle made out of .020" wire,I broke off the rear windscreen doing the top wing(stepped on it) made a new one easy peasy and I exchange .012" wire for the .020".Oh I also had to paint the meatballs decals just to thick even for "Walthers"setting solution.

Nice little biplane, Javlin.

 

Check out Tru-Color paint. They probably match it. If you remember Accu-Paint, it's a reformulated solvent paint, like Accu-Paint was. Acetone base I believe. Only issue I've heard about is it needs to be used over primer on resin. Wants to slough off resins.

Maybe so Ken but it's been about five years in between these Trainer/testing builds.

Nice job Kevin!!  Not an easy color to make look good.  You work so fast I blink and you're done
