Okay, a bit of a palate cleanser from the recent diet of 'Black Diamonds' . . .
This is the Douglas World Cruiser from the old Williams Brothers Kit. The Build Log will be terse with this one, I'm just going to enjoy the model making process . . .
Here we go, the basic fuselage,

and the forward top decking. This has already been painted inside, and strips added to help locate it on the fuselage.

The wing, with the strut holes filled,

and lastly, the tail surfaces glued together.

That's All For Now, Stay Tuned . . .

Okay . . .
A quick update, the 'engine' assembled and painted,

and the airframe erected . . . the engine has to be added at this point, as it's not possible to fit it later, the peg that represents the carburettor intake pipe fits into a hole in the top cowling, so the 'engine' has to be put in first . . .

Now it's off to the paint shop . . .

Nice! But an odd assembly approach with that engine ???
I guess a compensation is that seriously imposing-looking set of exhaust stacks :smiley: ;D

Okay . . .
It's been a long time, but finally ready for decals . . .

Also, see if you can spot the mistake I've made . . . :-[ :icon_twisted:
That's All For Now, Stay tuned . . .

Fairly seamless change to monoplane

Thanks, though I do say so myself, it does work rather well, doesn't it . . . :smiley:

Looking good :smiley:
Also, see if you can spot the mistake I've made . . .
Hmmm. Assuming it is still a DWC, the tail stripe colour is reversed (should be blue/white/red from May 1919 to November 1926).

Now that the model is finally finished, and you can see the pictures, all can be revealed . . .
I forgot to paint inside the engine bay, before I fitted the engine (see picture #9). . . :-[

Pretty paint and plausible! Good combo :smiley:

Nice! The yellow wings look great.

Thanks, Gents . . . :-[
@Frank, I got a good finish in the end, but I had to resort to rattle cans . . . the final coat is Humbrol 154 Ingignia Yellow, which I think is a good match for Chrome Yellow, brush painted over Tamiya Spray TS-16 Yellow.
cheers,
Robin.

That's a good looker!
