Very fine colours! Watching with great interest.
Cheers Prez. Certainly makes a change from yellow
I knew this would look good and by Jove it's certainly going that way.
Cheers, Alan.
Glad you're enjoying it Alan
The paintwork is looking great! This scheme certainly looks like a challenge, but you seem to be on top of it.

Hi Ian
Bit more of a challenge than I expected to be honest, but I'm reassured by looking at photo's of Pfalz's and seeing how uneven some of the striping actually was
(Makes me feel much better)
So with temperatures in the 'workroom' being high because of all the lovely sunshine we're having at the moment I've not done much this week, but did spend a bit of time touching up and panting smaller details like the engine and cockpit padding before sloshing on a coat of gloss varnish. Once that had dried I tried a couple of Rodens decals with the expected results, but a rummage through the stash located suitable replacements on a MAC DIIIa sheet. These were quite thick and tended to silver over the black so needed a bit of trimming (I reasoned the stripe would have been painted straight over any existing data markings)
Fuselage crosses came from an old Skybirds sheet which went down nicely, but my cunning plan to paint the silver outline on the decal and then trim the outer edge was less successful so a second set was used and I'll just have to paint that in later (gulp)
Tail cross was courtesy of Eduard (Possibly a DR1)
I'll leave the wing crosses until after the rigging is done to hopefully avoid any touching up . . . .famous last words
Anyway here are a couple of pics. I amused myself by adding the tiny engine number and red stripe which were copied from a Wingnut build article I came across
