Here is my latest model, depicted as it would have looked 97 years ago in World War One. Approx. 5 weeks construction time spaced over 2.5 years.
Additions:
Gas Patch turnbuckles/brass tube ends.
EZ Line rigging
Masking tape to depict the intake manifold heat protection.
Aviatic Lozenge decal.
Uschi Woodgrain decal.
I wanted to capture the contrasting wood, wire, leather and fabric components of the model hence the harsh lighting taken in direct sunlight. I hope it looks real enough this way.
