I ALWAYS have fun wit my biplanes........a little more challenge then monoplanes.........very subtle weathering..........you wanna know why........only 1/3 of pilots came out alive........and they only lasted a couple of weeks................soryy I can't say the real amount of weeks I'm gonna use it as a trivia question........

It does look good,AW.
Do you prefer that Rubber color on the tires? Or would flat black look as good.Thing is,those were from the 19 teens,so I wonder if carbon black was used much as an additive in rubber for tires yet. (++) (++)
