Yeah, I saved those Murphy's Laws too. I think I'm going to blow them up into a poster and hang them on my Hobby Room wall.... if I can find a space to hang it!

We are modelers - the same in spirit, in hunger to insanely buy newly released kits, hustlers in hiding our stash from our better halves and experts in using garbage as replacements for after-market parts.

Who needs the reminders! I already get enough reinforcement on those rules.

Re: Classic Biplane Duelists
I assembled, painted, and test fitted the landing gear. In case you’re wondering about the tan tires, apparently during WWI, carbon had not started to be added to rubber, so the natural color was tan, like a gum easer.
Now it’s all ready for decals

Well done!
To make each build less crappy than the last one. Or, put another way, "Better than the last one, not as good as the next one!"..

Yup... I’ve seen photos of tan wheels on biplanes during WW1.

Carlos! Nice!!!! It’s official. I’m in last place.
This is the look of finished camouflage in natural light. On top of the Duo Oil is a coat of UV Flat Clear which is still my favorite of the clear coats. On this project I have learned the value of adding a coat of gloss or flat over multiple layers of finishes.
