Thank you Lou.

Started applying decals. Wing roundels went on ok.
Have to remake squadron codes. Individual letter ok but squadron code ones didn't want to
Stay attached.

Onwards.

The Battle is nearly done.
Codes are grey on white . Coat of clear then painted with a small brush lots of patience.
I'll think about quality control.
Leaving the tailwheel off and will think about the swan on the port side.

I've decided to call the Battle finished.
Have passed it over to my Grandson.

I have left of the black swan on port side and the tail wheel.

Would have updated the title bar with completed date but can't remember how I did it before.

Looks great!

I'm interested to know:

1) How do you make your propellers?
2) What do you use to adhere the canopy to the wood?

Excellent model!

Jordan,

Propellers - on the Battle I used styrene tube to make the boss with individual blades.
On the CH-1 I used brass to make the boss. There are several tutorials and how to's from Lou and Kens Lancaster.

I changed my mind on the Battle and put the original wood canopy back on.On the Blenheim it was a commercial Vac form and used Super glue.

Hope this helps a little bit.

Cheers

Gordon
