[cut].. Jon: Have you tried actually sending the the faulty wing back to where you purchased them and requesting a replacement? If you're thinking of scratchbuilding new wings, the rippled ones are going to be of little use anyway, so he might as well have them. In the meantime, try to keep busy doing another kit like a vacuformed AK-10 quadraplane; that'll keep you from worrying about the Bristol F.2B.

Why not use regular steel wire, which is a more acceptable color, takes glue/paint better and is cheaper, to boot? I recall someone mentioning rust, though that seems like an unlikely problem, and one that has never plagued any of my oldest models, some of which go back to the 70s. Just curious...

Yes, but Leonardo de Vinci, I am not! Regardless of burshes' merits, having used an airbrush, it is difficult for me to revert back to brushes. For one thing, acrylics do not do as well with a brush as enamels. I know that fantastic results can be achieved with enamel paints and brushes - I have a book explaining how to do a 2-colour Spitfire camouflage that looks excellent. Acrylics, while being less robust and smelly, also dry quicker, which for an instant-gratification-person such as myself, is most appealing. For the record, I do use brushes... often! All the small parts are brushed. Usually, I can't be bothered to go down to the basement and set up the airbrush each time I want to paint a cockpit seat, although I know of someone who does! There are certain things that are almost impossible to do with a brush - feathered camouflage lines come to mind, and then faux wood surfaces can only be done with a brush.
