Buddho Thank you very much my good man for having a gander, and for the compliment. Snipersmudge Thank you kindly mate. I figured out the openings for the elevator trim lines last night. I drilled 'em out, but that was as far as it got. Too much to do around here with family arriving tomorrow. Carl Yup! That was it. I've never smelled it actually burning. I did have a '67 VW transaxle, years ago "burn" the gear oil in it. Acrid does not even begin to describe that foul stench. Bruce I am glad to see you're still around after being volunteered.

Jed Thank you kindly for the compliment. Carl Wooooh. That'll wrinkle your nose. It was a good day at the ranch. I just about ended up in a food coma. After a while everyone dispersed, and I sauntered out to the bench. With that I was able to get started on the weathering. The wheels received some Vallejo Wash shot through the AB. Some more work to be done there. The sidewalls still have yet to get dirty.
I got the elevator trim lines done. The underside received a wash with MIG oils. This was done after the wheel spray was shot onto the underside of the wing and elevators.

I'd say that's the best WW1 model I have seen. Amazing workmanship and stunning finish.
