Title: Aviatik D.II, Karaya, 1/48
Post by: Naimbs on February 03, 2015, 04:34:02 PM

Hi all,

I am currently completing a Aviatik D.II. I summarize in this topic the successive stages of its construction. The model is really beautiful , the resin is very good. Nevertheless, there are several errors in the form and details. I think that the analysis of the aircraft was based on the book JAPO  :-\.

So, I show you the progress:

The engine:

The cockpit:

No tank in the wing on the picture of the real airplane. I removed ( green) and add details (red, blue)

Painting with a sponge:

And now it 's like that. I have to paint the propeller and install it. Then a few details to add.

Very nicely done Arnaud, your wood treatment inside the fuselage is extremely well done and the engine is amazing. The sponge technique you used for the external painting turned out superb, an all round excellent looking model.

Beautiful Arnaud!  The mottle camo is especially well-rendered.  Now, bring on the star-strutter! ;D

Bob

Wonderful job on the Aviatik Arnaud.  Good to see a nicely done Austro-Hungarian machine.

Excellent model! The camouflage looks very prototypical.
