heres my CR 32 that ive been steadily getting finished over the last couple of weeks, it just needs some final painting, a little rigging and its done. this was quite a stinker of a kit from its massive panel lines to the nightmare of those struts and a fairly complex paint job too
p.s. and my bombs away entry has sneaked in on the act!

Hi Phil!

Finally we can fly together on mission! Too bad we don't have any targets to shoot at anymore...
I think you forgot to paint the venturi tube in black.
Anyway, this is a great model and I like the paintsheme as well!

That really looks good Phil.
I really like all the different paint schemes that were used during WWI.

hi all!
nigel- as its a bank holiday i intend to get this done this weekend, so i can get back to my next train kit!
jean-luc- thats easily remedied and can i park slightly behind your CR 32? that was a great job you did there
wayne- although this is a biplane, and i'm known to build the odd WW1 kit, these aircraft were originally built in the 1930's and were in service between 1933 and 1945, however they was relegated to training duties in 1940, although some did fight in africa later in the war. my version took part in the spanish civil war in 1936 where it was used by the Aviazione Legionaria
