Nice progress, dfy-fitting looks good. But may I ask why you made cut of 6mm in the fuselage?

Looking good, nice progress.
But maybe you should add a Micro-Mir D.VIII and make it a Fokker tetralogy!

Good evening guys from Greece. 
A small update before the new year.
Although the few available photos of D.VI do not appear to contain blast plates for the gun muzzels on coaming, such as Dr.I and E.V-D.VIII, I decided to place them because I like them.
They were copied on foil from the MENG Dr.I and placed in place.


Wings
The detail on the wings consists only of the curves created by the ribs. Stitching and rib tapes are completely absent.
The stitching was copied from the wing of WNW D.VII on alu foil.


I hope to say it soon from the new year

You are going the extra mile on making your details! Really great results with the foil technique!

Wow!! Three kits started and all very NICE!! It looks like the secret is to start multiple kits at the same time; instead of starting a new kit before finishing the old one and not finishing any of them...

Hi
After an absence of 11 months I return to the topic with a "Family photo"



The assembly is proceeding normally and I believe that I will soon be in a position for new posts.

Nice to see you back on this project! All are looking great. Is the streaking on the Dr1 decal?

Goodness - three builds at once!

Excellent progress on your trio, Spyros.   Great details being added to the Roden DVI.

Regards
