Very nice woodgrain. I will watch with interest, because it was the most challenging build in my model career. I wish you a lot of fun and patience with this kit.

Danny,
I'll second Manni's comment, this was the most challenging Build in my experience as well, and the longest. You are doing an excellent job on it and I'll be following with great interest. It's a very long haul but this excellent Kit is well worth the efforts you are putting into it. Patience, and I'll look forward to watching your progress.

Cheers,
Lance

Excellent start. I too am fascinated by the wood grain effects: I always find this difficult - now I have some very useful tips to help me in future.

Thank's Stephen

Applying the wood grain is not so difficult as it look's. It's a fairly simple technique which can be used by every modeler, skilled or beginner.

Hi guy's, time to show you some more WIP photo's.

The oil paint is completely dried, so time to paint some details and put the cockpit together.

First thing to do, glue the cockpit floor to the ammunition locker.

Here you see the difference of color in the wood grain pattern.

I decided to keep the fuel lines, which where running along the bulkhead under the IP. I painted the fuel lines and other details with Vallejo and Tamiya acrylics.

Radiator, pilot's seat and pilot's locker where also glued.

Rudder pedals, painted and glued to the cockpit floor.

Instrument panel, details painted and added some decals.

Finally, gunner section glued to the pilot's cockpit section.

This is looking really good. I have a soft spot for this type - must get around to scratch building an FE 2d too one day.

Thank's allot Stephen for the nice comment.

Scratch building is another step higher which i really admire when i see a WIP of it. So i hope we can soon expect a scratch build Fe.2b from your hand Stephen.

I'm going to say that that is the best woodwork rendition that I've seen here. Absolutely amazing! And all the other details are incredible too. I'm looking forward to more to come.

Thanks for sharing, cheers,
Alistair

I did some more work on the Fee's cockpit section today.

I enclosed the observers and pilot's cockpit into the two wooden frame halves. Also the frontal iron framework was added to the observers section. Fuel tank and control column also.
