A bit more progress, most of the rigging is on and the D.VII had it's wheels added. I used Ushi Fine (the Super Fine is
too thin for my taste) and it looks pretty much like my usual 0,06 and 0,08mm fishing line.The Ushi wire takes some getting used to, they tend to stick together (static charge?) and the ends curl up when you add a bit of CA glue. So it took much longer than usual, but in some cases it's a lot easer to use than the normal fishing wire -such as the axle ring rigging of the Fokker and the control cables from wing to fuselage. I'll probably use this on my next 1/72 model. It does not add strength, but these models don't really need that anyway.
The Albatros had a broken aileron control horn fixed and still needs the aileron controle wires added, the elevator rigging is still unattached on one end. I also worked on the propellers and found some usable propeller logo's on an Americal Jasta 4 decal sheet I bought from Andreas (Borsos) last year.
Turned out it also had the right crosses for the Fokker on it instead of those that are now on it, as the Roden ones were unusable... Too late to fix that now.
Finally some daylight time to take better pictures, too:
Probably the next update will see the Fokker completed, and the Albatros should (hopefully) follow soon after that, too!
