Looking mighty fine Mark! Your productivity right now is impressive, and no reduction in quality for certain. This is the scheme I want to do and, seeing this, I can't see any change in plans down the road.
Cheers,

Thanks for the comments guys, they are much appreciated.  I don't know what happened, but trying to put the engine on the formers, it just wouldn't sit right, so, I trimmed some plastic off the formers and it fit just fine.  I must have gotten something out of alignment in there. 
Anyway, just some preliminary pics.  It isn't finished, I have the top wing on for alignment purposes at this time.  I did get the engine in, cowling panel, weaponry, cockpit coming, front radiator assembly and the undercarriage rigged.  I also got the elevators and rudder rigged.  I used copper colored EZ line.  I don't know if it makes any difference, but it does stand out a little more.  I will be using white EZ line for the main rigging.



I did dullcote the overall scheme and lower wings.  I added a drop, if that, of Testors MM Sand to the dullcote just to tone things down a bit.  I don't think it is noticeable, but it did tone it down.

This is really a nice kit, a fun build and...........a neat looking model.
Stay tuned for more modeling mayhem as it occurs right here.  Doncha dare mist it.

Best

Mark

How did you get the drop of Sand paint in the Dullcote rattle can?   

Seriously though, this is a beautiful model. It's about as colourful a marking scheme that I can remember seeing.

You squeeze it in the pin point hole with a perfumed atomizer air bulb.

Thanks again for the kind comments guys:

Here are some pictures of the completed model.  I used White EZ line this time.  Not sure if I will use it again, but; it is growing on me.  I used the turnbuckle loop and tube method for the upper wing attachment and the loop and twist for the lower attachment as that is what it seems the German's used on their rigging.


I did weather the lozenge by airbrushing a thin mixture of Testors MM Sand to lighten it up and give it some texture.  The pictures don't show it, but it turned out pretty good:


I used the Rudan Propeller mask with mixed results.  He states in the instructions that one must practice and adjust air brush and compressor pressures, which I will have to do.  I can see where the results will be satisfactory, until then, this is how it turned out, I am fairly happy with it.


All in all a fun build, not major obstacles and the only hiccup on the instructions is the misnumbering of a part which I noted earlier. 
That's it for this bird.  Now on to ......................

Thanks for stopping by.

PS: The white EZ Line looks just the part.

Thanks Bob and Greg:

I am beginning to like the White EZ line.  I will be using it on my next German A/C.  I am thinking another LVG.

Cheers
