Hi all,
Just a few updates.
Propeller base coated with 'Tamiya' Dark Yellow (XF60) then brushed with Windsor & Newton (Alkyd) Burnt Sienna oil paint.
'Lohner' propeller logos applied from the 'LF Models' Austro-Hungarian set then sealed with 'Alclad' Light Sheen (ALC311).
Radiator assembly treated with 'Flory Models' Dark Dirt clay wash with the 'Number '7' decals (modified) from the 'Xtradecal' RAF set.
'Flory Models' Dark Dirt wash also applied to the wings, fuselage flight control surfaces and landing gear.

Now it's onto pre-rigging the model before assembly,

Mike

Hi all,
The observer/gunners machine gun.
I chose to replace the kit supplied 3D printed machine gun parts.
I used the more refined resin ‘Schwarzlose’ 07-12 unjacketed weapon (17-32112) from ‘Gaspatch’.
The ammunition drum was a spare from a previous 'Wingnut Wings' build.
The kit supplied gun mount needed to be modified with a 0.4 mm diameter rod to fit the weapon to the mount firmly.
'Alclad' Gun Metal (ALC120) was airbrushed over the machine gun.
'Alclad' Steel (ALC112) was airbrushed over the ring mounting rails and lightly over the machine gun.
'Tamiya' Hull Red (XF9) was brush painted over the trigger handles.
'Tamiya' Weathering Master (Set B - Soot) was sponged around the muzzle of the barrel.
Ammunition belt was brush painted with 'Tamiya' Desert Yellow (XF59), 'Mr. Colour Brass (219) and Copper (215).

Hi all,
The underside of the upper wing, landing gear, aileron control horns and aileron control cables have been pre-rigged.
Monofilament of 0.12 mm diameter with 'Gaspatch' 1:48th scale Anchor Points and Type C turnbuckles.
The rudder and elevator have been fitted to the fin and tailplanes with added photo-etch hinges.
The modified ailerons have been fitted to the upper wing.

Hi all,
The pre-rigged upper wing assembly has now been fitted.
I never use wing alignment rigs or jigs, but fit wings and struts by 'eye'
This wing fit was easier to do most of the other models I've built.

Now it's onto final rigging,

Mike

Hi all,
Getting close to finishing the Lloyd C.V model.
Final rigging done, tail unit completed, landing gear, radiator and gun cannister fitted.
Just a few bits to add - observers weapon, windscreen, crew steps, flare racks and propeller/spinner.

Then it's onto the figures and display case,

Mike

Hi all,
A few more bits added.
Propeller and spinner, exhaust pipes and flare rack.

Just the windscreen, crew steps, observers gun/mount and an anemometer to fit, plus.
Also, final weathering,

Mike

Hi all,
Final bits added.
Observers machine and ring mounting.
Windscreen, which was modified from the kit supplied as it was too large.
Airspeed Anemometer added to forward, left interplane strut ('Gaspatch' with scratched photo-etch mounting).
Crew steps added - made from photo-etch and 0.5 mm diameter wire.

The only thing left, if it can be done satisfactorily, is to add the metal cover plates over the flying wire turnbuckles at the lower wing roots.
Then it's onto the figures,

Mike

Hi all,
I've represented the cover plates that were fitted over the flying wire turnbuckles at the lower wing roots.



These were made from 0.2 mm thick plastic card.
The raised centres were pressed out using the small 'ball' end of a paper embossing tool.
Holes were punched through the plates to represent the securing bolts.
Painted with 'Alclad' Duraluminium (ALC102) and weathered with 'Flory Models' Dark Dirt clay wash.

That's it for the model itself.
Just the figures to finish,

Mike

Lovely work Mike, the radiator in particular looks just like the real thing!

Hi all,
Figures done.
Both are the 'Yellow House' German aviators (YH32005) set.
