   Lovely D.VII Janne, and you recovered from the decal problems very well. I had a similar experience using W&W, found them far to "delicate" to work with successfully. My compliments on your patience, and a very nice model!
Cheers,
Lance

Thank you Lance! I actually used your brilliant model as reference and inspiration when building mine.  :)
You did outstanding job with W&W decals and the whole kit.

Thanks Janne. I suggest you now try the Aviattic version for a comparison, I think you'll have a pleasant surprise!
Cheers,
Lance

I have used the Aviattic decals on 3 of my builds and they are an absolute joy to work with.  I have the W&W set for the Hannover and was looking for advice on using them.
I shall never forget my admiration for that German pilot, who single handed, fought seven of us for ten minutes. I saw him go into a fairly steep dive and so I continued to watch, and then saw the triplane hit the ground and disappear into a thousand fragments...James McCudden

Rough bits? Where? I think that you are having us on - that is a superb model in every way and one to be really proud of. Everything about it says "quality". The photos are excellent too - all credit to your girlfriend. More of the same please!!

I'm impressed with this build, and it's hard to imagine all the trouble with the decals when one views the final result - excellent! You did an exceptionally nice job on accenting the detail of the model on the engine cowling, and weathered other areas of the white finish very well. I always found working with a white finish difficult on any model, and you have pulled it off beautifully. Well done indeed!
Cheers,
Gary
