I'm not usually interested in the larger scales but your build log is fascinating Andreas. Great work done so far, this is going to be a marvelous model!
Thanks a lot, Ehud! It’s great to have you on board!
Why do we put ourselves through this? I suspect it is because we are quite mad and get a kick out of it!

I couldn’t agree more, Richie
Incredible Masking and painting work Andreas! Hard to imagine those colors as Camo 
Looks Stunning!

Thank you very much Rick!
That looks absolutely amazing! I too laughed my head off reading your comment about what you'd learnt... but do you think that decals could have been an option, had they existed?!

Thank you Fredrik! Decals would have existed, because HPH sells them separately. But I just didn’t like their color, I found them too cold and they didn‘t line up with what I had in mind my Berg D. I should look like when I‘d build one. This has of course nothing to do with a deeper historical insight into the proper shades. Not at all
I agree with the others: the end result is super!
I am stunned by the difference between the starting point and the end result, incredible painting job indeed!

Thank you very much Edo!
Awesome work -I do wonder if you still saw hexagons in your sleep 
Thanks Jeroen!
Sometimes i do
Oh my... the airbrushed hexagons... yes, I feel perfectly what you mean by prefering the decals...
I would like to say „oh, it wasn’t that annoying at all“, but there’s still the upper wing to do for me, so not the time yet to glorify the past
I've seen this done only once before by krow113 on his stunning build of the WNW Gotha G.IV.
This amazing and far beyond my skill set.
Absoltely brilliant!
Willem
Thank you very much, Willem!
That’s the current state. I added Filters and chipping like those tank modelers do.
Second wing rib from the left also got shading… no idea what went wrong with my iPhone camera.
Tail feathers dry-fitted for photo-posing.
And coming home from work I found an envelope with my custom made masks for the fuselage markings from Frank (bughunter). I am very keen on trying them out, as it was a cooperation of my wife (she’s the computer nerd of us) creating the files and Frank reworking them and cutting masks on his plotter. Oh no. That’s no pressure at all for me…
Best regards,
Andreas
