This is the Revell kit, a Eduard rebox, very nice to build, nice details and a very good fit
hope you like it

Exquisite work, Cherrylock.

What paints are you using and how do you weather? The effects are incredibly realistic.

Thanks in advance,

Looking really great Cherrylock!
Very nice weathering, I agree with Bruce, really realistic!

Isn't the SE.5a pretty big plane (at least compared to "regular" 1st WW bi-planes) ?

Beautiful build! Looking at those always reminds me of “The Blue Max”.
