Little work on instrument panel, started erecting cockpit and lozenges decals applied. The upper wing face has logenges rib tape, but this will probably changed with linen as on the lower face. I experienced the same troubles already reported in the forum with WNW decals, even using the suggested technique, edge tape is still missing. Now I'm going to paint inner components to assemble cockpit and engine bay, and apply varnish to the wings.
Ciao

Excellent work on the panel and Lozenge! I am sure you will have no issue if you choose to replace the edge tapes. Looks great without them!

Looking really good Giuseppe. You are much more organised than me working on different elements of the model simultaneously. I tend to go in order otherwise I lose control...

I had no problems with the decals on my LVG but have experienced two so far - complete disintegration - on the DFW.

Thank you Rick and Alistair, I didn't find bad decals but just less forgiving then Aviattic: they need to be processed exactly as suggested by WNW to avoid troubles and they don't like to be repositioned by sliding. But now I need to make tests for winter overpaintig and the complex pattern.

I must say that the sheer amount of started projects in this GB is overtaxing me a little bit. This is the only reason I didn’t comment on this very nice and clean build yet. The wood tones are as beautiful as the Tarnstoff treatment on the wings.

I'm sorry it's a long time without updates, I'm really too slow. I had to remove the lozenge decals when first tried to apply winter camouflage, the new are from Aviattic, five colours and I overdid  preshading a little in view of the white overpainting next.

Then applied the winter livery, trying to follow the reference photographs in the WNW website. On second thought it was better to do this with enamels to make corrections easyer over acryl paint... The pattern was touched randomly with alchool to produce a worn look.

Very little was done to the interiors (also damaged the central bulkhead), painted the seat and test fitted to the fuel tank.

Finally, the engine received a set of Taurus valves, soon to be painted.

I'm going to work on this in the next days.

Excellent update Giuseppe! Your winter camo is quite nicely done. I like how your interior is progressing as well! Looking forward to your next update!

Fascinating colour scheme! I thought my DFW in orange was brave but this is much braver. Well done - will be great to see it all come together.

Giuseppe - That seat looks great - like real leather.
Good start on the valve train.
