I really like the painting you have done on the undersides so far. Did you preshade the ribs to get the effect that you have? I have never done so yet, but want to get the same effect on several biplane models I have at the sanding & painting stage. I have the 6 Inpact pre WW1 models already assembled and I'd like to do the wing undersides so that they have that lookthrough effect that I've seen in some photos of the BE2c in the museum photos. You are doing such a great job & this old man is learning a lot from following your posts. THANK YOU. Carl T
