Hi Richard, yes that engine choice is so strange and probably one of the great mysteries... but there are some good close up photos of Josef Jacob's DR.1 with this engine in - maybe that confused Merit/Trumpeter...
Hi Des, Thanks for checking in!
So some more airbrushing and I adjusted the colour of the fabric inside... this is a more neutral color to my eye...
That was Tamiya XF-55, and I shot some XF 76 on the framework at the same time. A colour suggested by WNW for their DVII, note that no genuine DR.1 airframe remains, only repros, so I can get away with a little "interpretation!"
The important crossbar above the seat frames is installed, but only glued on one side so I can spread the frame to install bulkheads seat etc...
Well, a little progress...
Regards,
Marc
