Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Looks like it will be a lovely model to build. Current fave on Pheon decal sheet as indicated, because.... ....One of my daughters friends is the great grand-daughter of Sir Herbert Thompson - ex RNAS, tripehound pilot and later knighted for service to India He served in 8 sqn RNAS - possibly C flight and certainly flew Triplanes - as there are snippets on the web of interviews with him about the old flying staircase. So Sir Bert - this ones for you!! Jonners 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Rogers Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Nice choice Jonners, was thinking of purchasing one of these myself, but found a 1/48 Eduard Tripehound on ebay, which is my preferred scale of choice. Looking forward to watching your build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 Nice day meant airbrushing al fresco. So got some linen onto the parts, and a light wood base for the woodgraining, which I've also started. Dont panic - the build WILL slow down Jonners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 You are off to a flying start! cheers Don - well the oils needs to dry out before i add the tinted varnishes, so I was just taking advantage of a good day. Still got lots to do. Jonners Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jon Kunac-Tabinor Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 More work on the wood graining. I've applied some Indian Yellow over the initial dark brown oil - this has yellowed out the tone which was looking a little too red before, and is giving a nice fine grain. I'm reliably informed that British aircraft used a very fine grained high quality wood for their aero parts, so the grain pattern doesn't need to be coarse ( not like later war german parts which suffered from the effects of blockade and had to use inferior wood often), so the idea is to give a very tight fine grain. See what you think Jonners 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazdot Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Now that I like. mine looks a lot like late war inferior wood but as its 1918 I'll get away with it. That's really really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heloman1 Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 You lucky fish to have one of these kits and I do like the struts, the wood grain effect is spot on. I'll be keeping an eye on the build thread. Colin the envious... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
