Well done, Alexis.
Is this blue linen on clear or white decal paper? If it is on clear you should try before cutting a lot of stripes how it looks like. Two layers on top of each other do not look nice sometimes.

You are so well trained now, do want to do the lozenge and rib tapes on my Halberstadt? But sorry, that bird is so strange, they put the lower brighter lozenge to the upper side so I guess I need to do it myself.  ;D

Cheers,
Frank

The blue decal is German faded blue linen and is on white backing , so no need to double up on the tapes .  ;)

Well trained you say ! No I don't want to do the lozenge and taping on your build , you need the practice after all  ;)

Thanks my friend  :)

Thanks Patrick and Rick  :)

Patrick , you are not alone . I as well would like to see this in 32 scale  :)

If my day tomorrow goes well and I know it will  :)

Not much of the tapes to go . Right side of the lower wing and rest of the top is all that is left . . :)

Alexis,
Just keep plugging away at those rib tapes. They’re more fun than a week long
TDY at CFB Cold Lake. Believe me, I know.

All taping is wrapped up now and last of the national markings too boot !

All parts are ready to go for a sealing coat and then it's off making wire hoops and turnbuckles . Then it will be time to get her together and of the bench  :)

Oh, that really looks great. You only need a fitting Paul Bäumer figure.

Somehow I have missed this Alexis! You seem to have several different builds ongoing on different parts of this forum and I cannot keep up with you...

The lozenge and rib tapes look first class - you have more patience than me to put all of those on - and the overall model is coming on really well . I am not a fan of resin kits, but it is good to see them when they are as well made as this one.
