Your Gotha is coming along nicely for sure. It looks like your sanding paid off!

Lovely! I see you went the same way as I did - first lower wing to the fuselage, unlike the WNW instructuions which sugget assembling the wings cellule first. Good luck with the rest of the build.

Thanks RAG and Przemo!

I didn't glue it yet. I have to weather whole fuselage and tail surfaces and prepare all stuff on wings, then I will think about assembly order. Is it better to assemble it your way?
I sanded decals to hide carrier film.

I doubted my skills to follow the sequence from the instructions. So I thought out that "my" way and it worked perfectly for me. You can see the progress steps in my build thread starting from here:
https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=10438.msg192657#msg192657

And BTW, very fine weathering effects on your G.I !!!

Well, at least this wonderful build is no mess at all  ;)

Thanks, Przemo, I checked it out, I'm still not decided yet.

I was afraid of bright front fuselage, unsure how to weather it. I started with some dirt and small scratches.

1) that amount of weathering looks perfect to my eye...even though my knowledge of the type is totally limited to the builds I've seen on this forum!

b) at first I misread the noseart and thought the aircraft was named for a certain style of hat!!! ;D

As I was lazy to update again, I post some longer-time update. Wings were weathered using oil paints (wash, dots etc), I started to work on engines. I modified valve mechanisms heavily to be more realistic using Taurus springs and some profiles. Rods will be added later to not to bend them during bulding process. Cylinders were weathered using AK stuff and oil paints. One engine has spark plugs installed and connected. Ignition cabling was scratched too.

... and engine. Monofilament was used as wire as it behaves and looks quite similar to real-life wiring. Taurus spark plugs.
