Building the Valom SE5(a) in the WGF style

[Karo7]

I've recently showed my Mannock SE5 in the official painting thread. As mentioned there, my aim is to match the original "Wings of War" look with minimal additional effort. That means no rigging, a minimalistic pilot figure, and a somewhat simple paintjob (be warned: there are silver guns, too!). I use my smartphone cam and the included image editor for my convenience in creating the single posts in time - so please excuse the possible inferior image quality.

So let's start:

Parts used:

Red: not used
Green: suggested cuts to acquire the sprue parts for the peg and the pilot

Additional parts needed:
- 1-2 staples
- 1 tick/pin

Tools used:

Notes:
- The white block is made of Styrodur. Its used for arranging and fixing the wings, before the struts are added.
- The sandpaper has a grit size of 1000. I let the sandpaper soak in water before I use it.
- Plastic glue: I've startet modelling with a needle glue, but over the years I preferred the one with the pencil. In my opinion it is superior in controlling the amount of glue to apply.
- the driller has a diameter of 1 mm (1/32")
