Finished!

All finished! A little bit of artistic license here and there but it's not too far from the real thing. It was really great that the decals were available. Thanks to Bronwyn at the  Croydon Aviation Heritage Centre  for the great reference photos, they were super helpful.

I added a piece of brass rod for the fuel line. Then it was on to the wing rigging which was a bit of a fiddle, needing a steady hand....   But I got there in the end. Then there was some touching up of paint work and attaching the final few pieces...

Final bits and pieces, propeller

Getting there! Painting the prop was quite a process, but I think it's turned out OK if a bit darker than the actual one. The dreaded rigging is next I think.
