Pagey Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Good evening. Please find my christmas build below. Lovely kit to build. If you are put off biplanes due to the problems of fixing the top wing and struts on, this is a good one to start with as the struts fitted with no problems and were engineered to be at the right angles. I was a bit disapointed with my final paint finish as I wasnt sure about the green (seemed a bit too dark). I drilled out the gun barrels (situated above the nose) which I think made a big difference to their appearance. The figures were fun to paint. and all finished off on one of my homemade bases. 20210110_180037 by Richard Page, on Flickr 20210110_175942 by Richard Page, on Flickr 20210110_175926 by Richard Page, on Flickr 20210110_175904 by Richard Page, on Flickr 20210110_175841 by Richard Page, on Flickr 20210110_175815 by Richard Page, on Flickr 20210110_175749 by Richard Page, on Flickr 20210110_175723 by Richard Page, on Flickr 20210110_175652 by Richard Page, on Flickr 20210110_175627 by Richard Page, on Flickr 20210110_175552 by Richard Page, on Flickr 20210110_175453 by Richard Page, on Flickr 20210110_175422 by Richard Page, on Flickr 20210110_175354 by Richard Page, on Flickr 20210110_175328 by Richard Page, on Flickr 20210110_175302 by Richard Page, on Flickr 20210110_174854 by Richard Page, on Flickr 20210110_174815 by Richard Page, on Flickr 20210110_174313 by Richard Page, on Flickr 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted January 10, 2021 Share Posted January 10, 2021 Looks superb,..... I`m tempted to build this myself,..... you`ve done an excellent job and the camo looks great to me. I`m no figure painter, but I`d add a watercolour wash to them, then rub it away,.... to bring out more of the detail,.... if you don`t like it,.... just wash it off. You`ve done a good job on them, be a shame not to go a step further. Cheers Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete in a shed Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 The CR-42 always strikes a presence and your build has that bit extra with the unusual markings and being the unspatted version. The figures are great too. Fine job Richard. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only trouble I recall the only issue I met was fitting the 4 panels on the engine. I ended leaving one off due to the gap (which was probably my fault). The model goes together a dream. Even adding the struts was no problem 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
