This is coming together really nicely, can't wait to see the rest of it assembled.

Hi all,
The fight surfaces have been painted and decals applied.
All were primed with 'AK Interactive' White primer (AK759).
Several layers of ‘Mig’ A-Stand Aqua Gloss (A.Mig-2503) were airbrushed over.
Red sections are ‘Tamiya’ Flat Red (XF7) mixed with Rubber Black (XF85) to 80/20%.
The Clear Doped Linen (CDL) decal is the ‘Lukgraph’ Phönix Linen Clear Doped Linen (DEC010) (kit supplied).
These decals are very similar to those from 'Aviattic', as they are semi-translucent.
Other individual decals are also kit supplied.

Now to apply a semi-matte clear coat before weathering is applied,

Mike

Looks really very good, Mike!
I like your work on the Phoenix.
The red-white-red markings on the tail unit and wings are beautiful.
I have to admit, I'm actually on the verge of ordering this model as a full 3D print kit from Lukgraph.

I think quite a few people will be tempted to order this Lukgraph kit seeing this build so far.

More excellent work. That's going to be a wonderful colour scheme when it all comes together.

Hi all,
The upper wing has been pre-rigged and fitted.
Also added the windscreen, gun sights and other photo-etch parts.
The suspension cord around each end of the axle is 'EZ' white line (Heavy), stained with 'AK Interactive' Kerosene wash (AK3029).
Now it's onto final rigging the wings before moving onto the landing gear and tail unit,

Mike

Hi all,
The inter wing and gear rigging is fitted.
Flying wires, landing wires, incidence wires, drag wires and landing gear bracing wires.
Now to finish the engine and aileron controls,

I can't really see this as a beautiful aircraft, but as a model it's a stunner! Great work!

Hi all,
Apart from the propeller, figure and display case, the Phonix D.I is finished.
Here's a few shots until I post the completed model, which will be once the figure and display case arrive.
Until then I'll be carrying on with my started Albatros D.V build,

Mike

Looks fab - i’ll be gleaning through your build log to help me with my 1/48 special hobby version … I’m already pondering how best to tackle that mottled paint scheme.

Cheers

Decent interpretation of this naval Phönix. Congratulations!
I admire the fast pace at which you make kits.
