I must say that "Wash Brown" is perfect for my taste... And, of course, the color remains constantly the same even if you need a second stage...

Today I've airbrushed matt varnish (Pébéo acrylic).

Of course, WWI aircraft can be represented glossy... But I prefer a matt finish because you must take into account that those aircraft became very fast "old" ones, due to fly conditions, UV, etc...

Now I have some paintbrush work for the cockpit, and then I will glue the parts together... At last!

As you can note, the sponge protected perfectly the cockpit...

And I airbrushed black mix on the turnbuckles...

You're not going to weather flying surfaces? That might as well bring to that worn look...
I don't mind, you might leave it as it is, looks great!

Yes, I will weather flying surfaces but I will use pastels for that... And Citadel inks.

Pastels!

I've used a green pastel from Conté for the dark green, and white pastel from Tamiya for the grey and dope.

For the actual phase (building & glueing), it's necessary to be absolutely zen. So it's a phase where I will progress slowly, working only the days I'm 200% relax...
With the DH2, Eduard made a real jewel but it's a kit asking for patience and attention.

Today I've placed the 4 central wing struts on the lower wing.

First, I've positioned them with a drop of Gator glue. That gived me the time to adjust the struts on the right position.

Then, after a few minutes, I positioned those struts on the upper wing. The Gator glue maintained the struts in place on the lower wing but permitting in the same time to position them correctly on the upper wing...

I let 1/2 hours in such a state, then removed the upper wing and the struts are now perfectly glued, in the correct position and angle.

Next step will be the 4 exterior wing struts... When? Just awaiting a new day of zenitude...  ;)

This look great and most problems will come when you try to fit rear section to this main body. I suggest you to make some provisional tool which will hold this in place...
