Wow!! That is a model to be proud of - a prize winner if ever I saw one. I just wish that I had the skill to be able to achieve the finish that some of you produce. Very many congratulates on an excellent build.

Hello, Mark -

Your completed Eindecker looks really great!

Your effect on the metal cowling looks especially good too.  What next on your bench mate?

Regards

Dave

Greetings folks:

@ Dave:  Thanks Dave, appreciate the comments.  Next up, hmmmm a toss up between the Biff or the Salmson.  I got the decals from Rowan today, but; the Biff Beckons.  I even have it on the bench with the box top off.  Stay tuned. ;)
@ SsashoO:  Glad you like it, thanks for being aboard and the comments, much appreciated.
@ LM:  Appreciate you stopping by and your kind words.  You can do it.  If I can do it, anyone can.  That's my approach.  It just takes a little practice and then you make the jump.
@ Bo:  Thanks Bo, appreciate the thumbs up, your comments and stopping by to check it.
@ Vickers:  You are correct, I took pictures as I built it and when almost done, posted them.  That way I could focus more on the build.  I know that the undercarriage rigging is a bit arcane and hopefully my log will help those in the throes of the Eindeckers with the rigging and encourage those who are on the cusp to take the plunge.  It is an enjoyable build and there are some great build logs on this forum with loads of helpful hints.
