Title: Aviatik Berg D.I//Flashback//1:48 no. 101.09
Post by: KrzysiekK on September 21, 2017, 05:22:13 PM: Good Day!

Being encouraged by Des with D.I I have decided to pick up mine from the stash. I am going to do D.I base on the rough kit manufactured by Flashback. First impression is rather optimistic but it would definitely need some amendments. The resin engine looks like..I am not able to give any resemblance but I do have some old resin AD purchased long time ago, so those will be my footing for adjustment.

Post by: Bughunter on September 22, 2017, 03:59:06 AM: Nice, I will follow too, since I have the kit 8922 (the one with the big colorful decal) in my stash.
Please report pitfalls!

Cheers,

Post by: KrzysiekK on September 22, 2017, 04:11:20 PM: thanks guys,

At the beginning I decided to alter just top of the engine being visible after assembly. But once started I have done all necessary amendments and here you have the results

First attempt for woodgrain cockpit structure is done. After drying I going to do little touch-up. The woodgrain pattern in lower part might not be correct vs panels structure but I would not pay special attention as barely visible after assembly

In the meantime I decided to go for wooden carved prop - 2nd attempt ;)
Knolley –Jaray requires little more sanding and should be ok

Now the wings and preparing for dots painting. First ribs structure. Later on I will do little fading to get more soft outlook

The fuselage is ready.It requires little softening

(http://rebe83.waw.pl/pub/krzysiek/warsztat/ABDI/ABDI_38.JPG)
I do not have slightest idea how the wings looked like in this particular example (one can find left side pic only in Japo publishing), so decided to go with the flow:)

the camo scheme is super! what did you use for the dots? felt tip pen?

as a side note, It is just my impression or austro-hugarian planes had the most remarkable finish?

Post by: andonio64 on October 27, 2017, 08:02:33 PM: So is that the final camo on this Aviatik?

I thought you had to use the dots to blend them into a mottled livery...

Do you have a picture of that schema?

It's fantastic!

Well yes I do have just one photo from Japo and this draft
(http://rebe83.waw.pl/pub/krzysiek/warsztat/ABDI/101.09.jpg)
source: Internet. For discussion purpose
Obviously dots representation is not of real one from photo, but still trying to be within the line of the outlook:)
Dots were made using toothpick with cotton wool at the end. I just prepared couple of them in advance. To avoid thick layer of them I have used Vallejo and they are diluted by default
