RCAF SE5A

Evening. Completed this build  a few days ago and just got round to doing the pics.  Its the ESCI 1/72nd kit ( which came with an Albatross DIII in one box by Italeri. I know its not a brilliant kit but its the only one I have seen in ages. The Revell one from yonks ago is  one I have built a few times and not seen that one around either Roden kits... well they have history don't they by way of being complicated builds if you can get that far.  Anyway the decals used on this are by Leading Edge Models and a fairly recent sheet. I think it was released a few months back. It has options for four SE s 2 silver and two in PC10. One s a 2 seater. I opted for the one you see here.   I used Humbrol Ivory No.41 for the doped linen and Olive drab for the PC.10 as it is fairly close to the many shades of that colour.

Nice one Paul!   Keeping on with the Canadian theme I see. Cheers

Very nicely done!  Like the black trim on the wings which must have been a huge amount of work to get right and appreciate anyone that can rig a 1/72 plane.  Very nice indeed.

Thanks.  The trim around the edge of top wing is the same as the rest, PC.10. Yes it was tricky.
