Haven't really checked much here during the summer, but in between I managed more than a few little things on my Jasta Raben duo.
Just to recall a bit:
-Roden 1/72 Fokker D.VII OAW (Mid) backdated to an early
-Roden 1/72 Albatros D.Va pretty much OOB
-Scratchbuilt flare guns, flare racks, Oigee sight and anemometer for the DVII, windshields, much of the interiour, Eduard Seatbelts
-Pheon decals (probably the DVII should have had the uneven-arm style crosses with hindsight)
-Aviattic Lozenge (the separate bolt variety)
-WNW blue ribtapes sliced in half
-help from here with the Albatros wing struts and wing height :)
-help from Rowan and Sabine at Pheon decals for providing extra green DVII trim free of charge (I'll mail off some pictures later!)
-Niendorf (DVII) and Axial (DVa) propeller logo's from an old Americal sheet
So, here they (finally!) are:

Comments and critique welcome, always willing to learn new things or improve the next build(s)!
Build thread, unfortunately I also used Photobucket for my pictures :( :(

What a lovely pair Jeroen! They've turned out beautifully, and well worth all the effort you put into them.

Beautifully done Jeroen, loved following the build log (Darn Photobucket). Congratulations are in order.

Magnificent pair Jeroen, both fine models. Congratulations on some very nice work, these ones should certainly brighten up your collection with their vivid colours.
Cheers,
Lance

You have achieved beautiful results with both Models! I enjoyed following your build, especially the manner in which you solved issues with things like the Albatros Struts.

@Ian: thanks :) I'm not easily pleased by my own models, but I'm quite happy with them!
@Juan: thanks! Yes... darn Photobucket :( I found keeping a build thread very rewarding, as there is a great group of modellers who are very knowledgable and helpful! :)
@Lance: thanks! Indeed they do "brighten up" my WWI shelf! :) I do notice there are now 7 German and one Allied machine, so perhaps time for some Nieuports and SPAD's. Should be easier to build too! )
@RAGIII: Thanks also! Like I wrote, keeping a build thread here has been very rewarding and helpful, and sharing the results is the least I can do :)
Now on to an off-topic model (an horrific AZ Models MiG-17F) and do some work on my WNW DVII! :)
