Hello!
This kit is nice but requires a lot of personal work!
(https://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/91/10/06/p1120441.jpg)
The cockpit is very very poor in detail. I was inspired by his brother at 1/32!

(https://i58.servimg.com/u/f58/15/91/10/06/p1120450.jpg)
I have completely rebuilt the cockpit:

It is necessary to make the passages of bombs

The fuselage openings are improved (early)

It is quite difficult but the subject is very nice, and rare on this scale.
A bientôt

No Fear Arnaud , as always
you are brave knight !
Xan

Wow, very impressive Start. You nailed the cockpit really well!
Borsos
-
Excellent start, looking forward to your progress.
-
Spectacular start, Arnaud! I have this kit in my stash and have been itching to take a crack at it. You've inspired me to move it up in the queue and your build will be my guide!
Cheers,
Bud
-
Modeling at its best! Looking forward to watching your build. I too have this one to build in the future and will be taking notes.
Charlie

Looks like another spectacular Build from your capable hands, Arnaud. Terrific work throughout, and great detail, a very impressive start!

I have to agree with Andreas! You have truly nailed the cockpit assembly, additions, and painting!

you are doing an incredible job. my old bud doug bauman did a 1/36 scratch built one 10 years ago that was amazing. who knew back then a 1/32 one would come out someday.

A little love and care goes a long way , super as always . :)
Terri

It's beautiful,detailed and oily !

Arnaud your cockpit looks like it is taken from the WnW kit. Superb detailing mate! I always wanted the AEG G.IV on my shelf so I will follow your build closely. I`m eager to see another update!

A work of Art in progress my old friend.

incredible what you are doing. This is really a great upgrade for that kit. The best 1/48 AEG I've ever seen!
Borsos

This is looking fantastic Arnaud, your attention to detail is amazing.
Des.

Amazing details, modeling at its best!
Jörg
-
Your AEG is up to WnW standards now. Looking great and I really can`t wait till the next update.
You can tone down the leather on the seats a little bit using the pastels or Tamiya`s weathering set.
-
Great job on this beast of a kit.
-
Indeed. Incredibile work!
I love all your outputs, so detailed, inventive and really neat.
Keep looking

Arnaud,
That's great detail work you've done on the interior; I'm presently working on the Wingnut Wings 1:32 kit and I'm seeing a few things on your Build that I should consider on this larger one. Great work, and I'll be following this one!
Cheers,
Lance
-
For a moment I thought I was looking at the 1/32nd kit! Your painting is looking outstanding ! Beautiful work!
RAGIII

Arnaud,
Wonderful detail work. Looking forward to how you are going to handle the engines.
Charlie

Thanks guys! :)
The three colors are painted!

very impressive Arnaud!

Outstanding painting! Looks stunning!
RAGIII

That camo job is first class (as the rest of your build).
-
Thank you very much! :)
The engines are horrible, and it's quite difficult .... :-X
Arnaud
-
If you're interested CMK makes a 1/48 260 hp Mercedes engine in resin. I bought a couple to replace those in the kit.

Great paint job, Looks really great.
Manni

You are really doing a great work, almost from scratch. It's a gem.
Ciao

Great looking paint scheme!!

Hello all! :)
Same as HB D.I...; This one also suffered years away from home. :'(
The paint has been removed for a better view of the damage.

(https://i.servimg.com/u/f41/15/91/10/06/p1000020.jpg) (https://servimg.com/view/15911006/1798)
I took the opportunity to finally add some details that I had overlooked at the time.
On the programme:
- leather beading around the cockpit openings
- fuselage lacing in PART brand PE
- foot steps
- plate on top of fuselage
- first parts of the bomb racks under the fuselage (the part needs to be reshaped, as on the WNW)
- Mats redone in brass sheet, folded, stressed, cut and then soldered.

The next step will be to work on the engines. I'm going to take an AZModel Gotha engine and improve it. Then I'll probably make a resin mold.
It's quite difficult. This kit is a pain, really difficult for me :-X
A bient?t

Your painting was gorgeous but with the New details and re-build I am sure it will be even better. Terrific work on the struts. I am looking forward to your progress!

Good to see this back on the road.

Yes it is nice to see this one back in loop , looking forward on the next update .

Another one back from the dead! Looks like a lot of work but I am sure this will be fantastic. The work on those struts is very impressive.

Wonderful strut work.
I've been so tempted to grab this off evilbay, I'm having second thoughts.
