I was not sure, how this decals will works in 1/48.
After seeing your great work here I think it would improve my E.V further, but now it's too late.

Cheers,
Frank

Thanks :)
Keep on doing then
the wings are ready for the assembly. The more then 20 years old decals were rather less problematic in application then expected. Just few brush recovery must be done. Then the final clear varnish layer


now the fuselage. I have decided to do the white stripes by paint as decals were rather too thick

Looking really great! The stripe and markings are very well done!

Excellent work on this kit. I have one myself it is far from ideal. You are making it look exceptional

Hi,

Recently I had not much time to show any progress in that thread but inevitably some small steps further has been done.
The U.II from small stuff it is really great stuff to improve the final outcome
BTW. those tiny little things on the top of cylinder was a “real” task  ;D But finally I can be proud of myself not to loose any of those during assembly

Yes, on this type its a bit tight, I built two of this type (5 at all).
Do you have sources about a brass intake pipes? Until know I know only copper for the curved ones (part 6) or steel for the later straight ones (part 7).
Examples are the Richthofen Dr.I for copper (engine in London) or E.V/D.VIII engines with steel pipes in some museum.

Cheers,
Frank

The engine looks great but I agree with Frank about the intake pipes - they should definitely be copper, not brass.
I think you`re building another marvellous model Krzysiek! Keep up the good work.

Terrific work on your engine. The color of the pipes is an easy fix! I am really looking forward to seeing the wings mounted!!
