HMS ENTERPRISE by Keith 1:48 scale. New Kit from M.D.

I have decided to use my favorite wood finish, Clou, at this point. Bit by bit as it would be very difficult to do with all the detail going in. I find it really brings out the colour of the pear wood and being spirit based does not prevent the adhesion of the glue too much. Next is the after orlop deck and cabins

That is looking very nice, Keith. The color of the Pear wood comes out very well with the Clou. In. U e contrast with the floor.
