I echo Peter's comment, well done Gordon. The chosen colours are bright and attractive. Will you adopt me as a grandson?

Gordon - I'd like to add my note of admiration as well. It's great to see creativity and imagination in this day of electronic everything for children. I'm sure you've created a family heirloom that will be passed on to the next generation.

Home made decals appled to Cassutts.
Have cut some propellor blades out of plastic takeaway food tray.
The GBZ is in the process of having the black trim applied. Lot of masking required.
Caudron progressing. Will have fixed undercarriage .

As to what the 5th one will be the jury is still out at this stage.

Picture to follow.

Cheers

Cassutts almost finished.

A bit off the pace with your single engine birds would be a DH88 Comet. I love your progress to date.

Lou,
I have pondered the Comet . It would have to green therefore it would have to be G-ACSR.
I'll make a decision shortly. Might be the Comet and a Laird Supersolution.

I shall see what happens.

The GBZ is now finished.

Wire bracing from cotton thread stretched with a weight on one end and with a coat of silver then allowed to dry.
Not much fuzz as a result.
Home made decals.
Rattle can cadmium yellow with touch up using Humbrol "insignia yellow" overall coat of semi gloss clear.
