Thanks for sharing Martin.

Best wishes

(Actually it's a D.III...) I thought it was kind of interesting to see that the upper wing went on first, the lower wings being essentially hung from it.

Didn't notice the light reflecting off of the fuselage until I read your post! Not sure how long the gloss would last but this does make me want to go back to a more satiny finish on my Models in the future!
