When filing the lower wing root smooth, I damaged the mounting cover of the antenna.
A disk with a diameter of 4.7mm was punched out of 0.2mm thick (or thin) plastic card, drilled out in the middle and glued on.
The screw heads all around were again marked with a 0.2mm drill bit.
Actually, these should be raised screw heads ..... Let's see, maybe I'll glue short, thin pieces of casting slip into the holes and cut them to the right length to imitate screw heads.
But nobody will actually see that down there under the fuselage anyway
Then I reach for the kitchen towel, Tamiya tape and Maskol.
The fuselage is now ready for priming.
I will use "Sailcolor" from Gunze for this.
It is interesting how short and compact the fuselage of the Pfalz D.VIII looks next to the two-seater Roland C.II.
As a reminder, the single-seat Albatros fighters are only marginally shorter than the Roland C.II.
If you have these sizes in mind, you realize how small a Pfalz D.VIII is in comparison.
