Thanks for sharing so many pics Danny. I too love your engine! Beautiful work!

I'm worried how you can remove the print lines from the seat cushion...hopefully paint can hide them?

Sandpaper is necessary for this. I have been there...

Glad you like it

I've bin true a couple of possible solutions, one of them is the use of a glass fibre pen or maybe to paint a primer with brush so the primer can be layed thicker then the use of an airbrush.

It's an option indeed, but sandpaper for this tiny cusion? Maybe a glass fibre pen would do the job easier??

Fine-grained sandpaper works, but of course a fiberglass pen also works.
You have to be careful with both tools that the fine details on the surface (buttons on the cushion, for example) are not destroyed.
But just as a side thought: We are talking about a fighter plane which was used at a time when Heineke seat parachutes were used by the Fliegertruppe des Kaisers.
NO cushion on the seat of the model would therefore not necessarily be wrong.
