Here we have the Frog 1/72 Vickers Vimy Mk.IV.
Although some work was required to get the top wing to fit I was quite impressed for such an old kit.
A big thanks to Bill (meremodeller) for providing me with this.

Not always, but in this case it seemed the best option. I will undercoat it, then paint the underside, mask and then spray the top surfaces.
The way it all went together seemed to lend it to assembly of the main parts and then paint.
You just have to do whatever suits you best.

Undercoated with primer - top picture.

Underside coated with linen/buff colour for doped fabric - it will look brighter after a coat of Klear.

Unfortunately I dropped this the other day while spraying and it is in need of some work to repair it.
Never fear it will reappear in the near future.

You're not alone here Zak.  Did you see my new thread on the Lavochkin LA5?

Probably all of them, and a few Anglo-Saxon words as well.
