1:32 Albatros D.III, Jasta Boelcke

Thanks, fellas. I'm hoping that a clear yellow overcoat will bring it back to a more orangish look, as that's what I was after to begin with. Either way, I'm sure I'll be OK with it. It's the outside that's much more relevant to me anyway.

[Fokker boy]

I've now went ahead and repainted the Tuscan area to what I believe is a more appropriate slope. Some dull cote, and I'll be ready to begin weathering these now.

[dtomko]

Very nice.

Nice work on the angle correction! Looking forward to seeing the weathering.

Thanks, fellas. I still need to make a run to the office supply store for some Chartpak tape to mask off the ribs, then I can weather away, (my old rolls are all dried out).

Kev,
     Looks good so far. I too am curious as to the wings, and their weathering. The wood for the 'pit looks pretty good to my eye, will the engine bearers get dirtied up?

Perhaps a little bit, Mike, but none of it will ever be seen by Joe Average anyway, so I may not bother. (It's a topic I've been wanting to discuss for a while now, and may start a thread elsewhere on it.)

I received the beautiful WNW Mercedes today, along with some Taurus engine items. I hope for engine work to commence tomorrow. Even though I didn't order them, an extra set of plugs was thrown into the package, a real nice gesture.

Yes Lucasz is wonderful at those little gestures.

I have to ask; is that Husky in your avatar yours? He certainly is one good looking pooch.

Admittedly a puny little update, but while already using some oils last night on another project, I went ahead and completed the interior assembly painting. Now I'm ready to slap the fuselage together.

[Fokker boy]

Now that I've finally retrieved my Dremel from storage (Yay!), I was able to "adjust" the Roden engine framework to accept the WNW Mercedes. A few paint touch ups, and I'm ready to rock.

[radio]

It looks very great.

[RAGIII]

Outstanding work on the wood components! Looking really good all around!

Thanks, fellas. This is taking forever to get through, but that's because I'm working on about 8 other projects at the same time. I still intend to get this finished for our regional here in September though.
