Well all,
Ive been quiet, got my hands on a D.VII before xmas and found quite a few things I need to work on, Xmas came a D.VII (OAW) and Hannie under the tree for me. I'm saving the D.VII for the KOTS3 group build on Aeroscale.
I was going to save the Hannie but... welll... you know me.
As always I've veered way off the instructions. So without any more ado here's my bash so far.
Inside I cut the fuel gage away from the tank, added some clesr discs to instruments along with new bezels to add a little depth.
Adding fuel control levers out of cut down wingnuts as opposed to etch too, I also added the pulley cable for what I presume to be the sliding panel under the rear floor & the rod for the generator clutch mechanism on the right side of the cockpits.
I decided after looking at the wrecked Hannie pics on WNW's site to not go too dark on the interior sides.
Now the oft discussed matte of the WNW lozengs (hand/sprayed/painted... their colours are nothing like Ronnie Barrs lovely profiles so I decided to spray my own, it worked to a reasonable degree. I got a bit carried away though and over lozenged the fuselage, still most will be overpainted but I want that *show through* in places effect.
The only real foul up was the blue on the underside loz, way too dark I think, still once oversprayed weathered and faded... who'll see it?
I'm planning on Profile B and going for *Red 5* resisting all starwars references... ops. except for that one.
Thats all for now folks.
Keith
