the LVG stands on its undercarriage.

Now just some minor parts and the old decals are waiting.
Regarding the decals, I hope there will be no problems waiting.

The decals went on quite nice. Wheels, cooling pipe and rudder are placed.

With adding the exhaust, the Parabellum and a little washing I will end this WIP soon.

Today, this "under construction" project end with a mini update. After glueing the exhaust in place, the last thing I did was adding the Parabellum Mg.

The picture shows the white Metal part that came with the model and a parabellum which I found in my spare box. I do not remember from which kit it came. I added the ammunition drum, a gunsight and the holder.




And with this last picture this project ends. Thanks for watching, all the nice comments end the encourage.



Futher pictures will follow in the "completed model" section.

Hope you can finish it now "in one go", without additional 3 years for the undercarriage ;)
My fears were completely unfounded!
What a beautiful LVG biplane!

Cheers,

One question: you have not mentioned the airscrew - is it sanded from veneer?
