This kit has less than 30 pieces and is pretty crude really. However, I will see what I can make if it. The fuselage is a poor fit and will have to be primed and filled. Fitting the tail section required support to make it stay straight.

I had forgotten how much of a pain in the proverbial it is to put the wings on biplanes. I have also lost one of the struts so I shall have to do some sprue stretching.

Construction completed and airbrush primer applied. I decided not to attempt to paint small parts first this time. I will airbrush the main surfaces and brush paint the details. I replaced the lost strut with little piece of brim waste filament from 3D printing that was the perfect size.

Decals applied. Now to let them dry thoroughly and apply a final clear coat and call it done.
