You probably know this already, but Karaya makes a really great resin Austro Daimler 200 h.p. engine which would be great for the Berg D. I.  The Eduard/Flashback engine is just a vague lump.

Gabe, have you seen the Copper State version?  It's even better.

Good day!
Some updates: 
The "work place" of the gunner and the pilot was comleted and closed.
In my model kit set the radiator and nose section was missing, so i did a resin copy ot those from Flashback Aviatik Berd D.I
model kit. Now I wait until the plaster dries.
Thank you.

The interior looks great in place! Nice work on casting the new nose. Once everything is sanded you will be on your way!

Good day!
Sawed, cuted, polished, customized. Primed, polished again, primed , has done "gills". Lozeng covered. With lozeng not yet completed, I will tinker.
Bunin and Mayakovsky much help, they were cargo in gluing wings.

Wow, that looks like much work, but it was worth all the sweat! An extraordinary well build and nicely looking Aviatik!

I use your wing manufacture method too when making laminates for parts - very cost effective!

You are performing a minor miracle with this - with the lozenge on it is very difficult to see that this is a vacuform conversion.

I thought I had commented earlier on your hex decals. Outstanding work on a complicated process.
