Here's my Trimotor now it's had two coats of H11, and two coats of H19 along the leading edges of the wings:

What doesn't show up too well at this distance is the problem with corrugations. I taped the leading edges to get a straight line, and the paint bled up the corrugations:

So, still some tidying up to do

You are doing a great job, Paula.
I'm sure the model will be really stunning in the end.

Nice work so far although the bleeding paint is a bit of a nuisance.

Thanks for the encouragement, this is another one that nearly had a test flight!

Still, I've touched up the leading edges, and added most of the final bits and bobs, so here it is:

It's really close now. However, with visitors currently somewhere between here and Gatwick, it's not going to get finished for a little while!
