Well, some works today...

First, a wash on the propeller bosse with Citadel Brown Ink (you can see on the photo the corrected struts). I've also painted (paintbrush) the machinegun and the ammo's. I've finished the sitting with the wheels...

Actually all parts are painted. Next phase will be Pébéo Gloss varnish; then a wash; then I will glue the parts together... At last!

As the machinegun will not be airbrushed with varnish (due to the glass), I've used for wash Citadel Brown Ink. And I've also corrected the paint of two little elements.

Now, ready for varnish!

All parts are varnished with gloss Pébéo. Then, some details are painted in grey.

I've begun to place the decals. And here, I had a bad surprise...

That was not visible on the decal sheet, but the roundels of the fuselage had a little partial border of white. More than that, the white of all the roundels was not completely opaque; it is as if there was a problem when produced.

As I have a good reserve of WWI decals (a gift of Philippe jourdan), I searched in my stock for Americal Gryphon RAF cockades; but I discovered... A complete decal sheet of the first release of the DH2 Profipack! So Philippe, thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!!

So, I have replaced the decals (I had to replace also the cockades of the wings, because a little difference in the blue color of the two decal sheets) and here is the actual situation...

Hhhhmmm- is this really problems? I am not sure that WW1 paints are opaque covering quality but your solution is fine ;)

The lack of opacity was not really a problem; but the partial white border was one... Anyway, there was a solution :)

God bless the reserve! :-ok
I also hate that out-of-register surprise, especially when there's no alternative :-wall
Looks nice now, though :-clap, waiting for weathering effects...
