Here goes!
This is my first attempt at loading photos.
I have resized them, at least I think I have!

I had a break from figures some while ago and started a Biplane, I brought
it to one of the Club meetings as WIP. I put the transfers/decals (Readers option) on
and then overcoated with Humbrol Clear Matt.
Turned out quite alwight , weally, don't you think?

Great both the model and the sorting out how to do the photos.  Now looking forward to a LOT more.

Hi Red Lancer,
An excellent first attempt.
You just now have to finish it, and post it here on the website.
Probably tomorrow??

And so it should. Easy peasy for a man of your calibre.

I don't think that it will ever be finished!
 As you can see, the Humbrol Clear Matt isn't clear. I had used it on a black figures base on the same day and it had the same problem. I tried another coat on the base which made a difference. It went from black streaked white to white streaked black. that was after shaking the bottle forever and standing it in warm water! I then redid the base with some W&N stuff.
So I started to do the plane with the WN and it was going ok.........'til I dropped it!. That's when the interplane struts broke off, both of them!
So now it needs a new paint job, with decals already in place. struts refitting, with the locating holes full of the old bits, and all the rigging elastic needs replacing ( I wasn't happy with that in the first place).....
