That's a nice clean engine. Great work

Thanks Fvdm

Bit more progress...

Fuselage closed up, no issues, I’ll have to seal the engine in as I think the radiator will need a bit of work to blend in and I’d rather get that done before painting.

The cockpit looks nice, seems a shame to hide it now with the pilot, but I’m sticking with that, as long as he turns out ok, just a dark undercoat with a light overspray to give me something to work on.

And the Aviattic arrived and looks sumptuous!

Quick question, it’s so long since I last did it - undercoat colour for the lozenge - white?

Thanks,

Guy

Wow, what a progress!
Yes, bright colors are needed. I used white with shadows, or off-white, light beige ...

Cheers,
Frank

Those lozenge decals look superb! Imagine not having to deal with rib tapes seperately...

Cheers,

Not having to do the tapes will save a lot time and frustration . In all Guy , this is reaally starting to shape with nicely indeed

If I can find an easy option Alexis, I’m all over it!

Here’s a photo I forgot to post of the cockpit:

And no, I’m not doing Hermann Göering’s Fokker, just a light, white under-coat...

The interior looks good in place in the closed up fuselage. Glad to hear you haven't changed your mind on schemes

Nice smooth primer coat!

Love your build on this one Guy - cockpit and engine looking excellent. Is that primer lacquer based? I've tried all kinds and have only had success with decanting the Tamiya grey cans.

Gary

Ah thanks Rick & Giuseppe

Hi Gary, yes I think so, it cleans up the same as the regular colours anyway.

I can’t praise MRP paints enough, the primer is the finest finish I’ve come across and sprays beautifully out of the bottle.

Got some colour on last night, again MRP, but a home brew mix, I basically tone reds down with a shade of brown.

Your DVII looks great! I Like the red and subtle shading on the ribs of the tail and formers on the fuselage.

Second this

Thanks,

On reflection I think the colour’s a bit too medium brown. I think a darker, blood red would have been better, but hey ho!

I got the lower areas lozenged up last night. I thought it would be best to let them properly dry before starting the top layers. Hopefully later today.
