Great work guys! John beat ya'll to the finish line! The Camel is looking very nice, Carlos and the wing painting on the Fokker looks very unique, Bruce!

Magnificent paint work on the wings Bruce! You nailed that perfectly! You da MAN!
Carlos, amazing work man! I couldn't even see where you had any issues.

Re: Classic Biplane Duelists
Carlos! I agree with Duke! I know the kit I am building does not fall together tightly. I have a lot of filler bridging each seam. Thankfully the major seam is between the fuselage halves. Removing the step was tough. Actually there are two major seams: the fuselage and the center wing root. That seam is going to be tricky.
However this, your work, is beautiful. Nicely aligned and ready for the next stages. Looks to me as though you will finish next.

Re: Classic Biplane Duelists
Thanks Bruce. Once I get the wing undersides evenly painted, I can move to decals. The next big speed bump that I foresee will be the rigging.

Remember, Carlos. This is suppose to be a relaxing hobby... riggings and all.

Re: Classic Biplane Duelists
Those are priceless! And so accurate, too. Thank you for sharing.
