Some progress. With a bottle of Micro Sol for scale.

Yes, huge box Dave but it is age 14+

It's not the smallest 1/72 aircraft I have. That honour goes to the Fine Molds Porco Rosso Curtiss.
As I won't be using the undercarriage the parts count is down to 10. Add the pieces of Dewoitine wing, float halves, wing floats and struts and its up to a grand total of 26 parts.
I was planning to do it in NMF with car spray but not unless the weather improves. I was cold & raining today and I sprayed another fuselage silver - due to the dankness it looks just like oxidised aluminium. Good to know but not what I was looking for.
