This is a great kit, Mark.  I know you'll do a spectacular job on it.  If I remember correctly, you built the Mirage version, right? (or was that me? ???)  At any rate, I know that you had built the Mirage Cl.II with stunning results, so you know your way around the type.  Looking forward to following along.
Cheers,
Bud

One of my favourite aircraft. Looking forward and following closely. It will be interesting to see how those Eduard crew will come out.

A little bit of a late start but here we go...

I will be doing this profile from Pheon's Halberstadt sheet......

(http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff140/guitarlute101/Halberstadt%20GB/IMG_2283_zps5clx2baw.jpg)

I decided to redo the interior structure because the kit detail is a little soft........

(http://i239.photobucket.com/albums/ff140/guitarlute101/Halberstadt%20GB/IMG_2280_zpslvuxyo1l.jpg)

And finally, I separated the ailerons from the wing........

Excellent choice of schemes, Mark!  If I remember correctly, this will go quite well with you Cl.II.  As I said back in July  ;) , I look forward to following along on this one.
Cheers,
Bud

As stated previously, this should be a very colorful diorama.  Look forward to your work on this one.

Many thanks guys, it's nice to have some bench time again.


I've finished up the fuselage interior bracing and added some shims and straightened up the wings and ailerons.................

Still steadily working on my Halberstadt diorama, I've finished the wings using Aviattic lozenge, here's the top wing...........
