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!

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

Being in EMS, if I ever find that Murphy guy, I'm gonna kick his a**!!

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

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.
