They are Scale Master. One came apart as I was brushing Solvaset on it...24 hour later. We'll manage. Got the laser printer limping along.

Got the upper wing decal printed, cut out since it was on white paper and i just put it over the other one. There are a few places the decals did not behave or play nice, but it will be okay. What i am most happy with on this build is 1) I was able to finish a bi-plane, 2) canopy masking held and 3) brush painted the fuselage, upper wing and red chevron.

The kit had some flash, but the most irritating were the mould seams on almost every part. Got what I could and another one is in the books.

Thank you, Clint. Still not up to rigging, though....maybe next time.
