The decals and fabric are one and the same. Looks excellent Robin!

Excellent work on the wood, Robin.  I believe it is an improvement over the previous build.

The update pics show great work, Robin. I particularly like to paintwork on the propeller - at that scale you've done an excellent job of curving the laminated lines perfectly.
Cheers,
Gary

Thanks all. :)

I waited 5 days for the oils to cure...instead of the planned 6. Me bad. :-X







Landing gear not fixed in place yet.

Since I waited 2 days for the oils to dry on my D.II...and no problems whatsoever...I guess 5 is plenty.
These Ammo-Mig Oilbrushers are fantastic I think.

Also done all the eyelets, so I can start "pre-rigging", wings on and finish the rigging.
Oh...and a little weathering.

More soon,

Robin :)

Cool base! Very nice wood effects and markings. Are the fuselage bands decals or painted on?

The fact you ask...yay! They're decals. :)

The book cover base was an idea of my wife!
Not bad for someone who thinks my Rudolf Stark Fokker D.VII is a cool Philippe Starck design ;D

Thanks T. :)

Wings are on and rigging done...only a few control surface wires left to do.
All went smooth...no problems encountered.



Still to do: radiator plumbing, windscreen, weathering and place landing gear and prop.

More soon,

Robin  :)
