Some good photos there Andreas, and I shall definitely get Guttman's book. The aircraft in the newsreel are definitely relatively new. Those crash photos also seem to confirm that the finish was very opaque.

Well Borsos, the callout in the instructions is good enough for me. Better than my WAG (wild-a$$-guess)  ;)

Continuing to be your usual Gorgeous build Andreas! When thinking about weathering I always remember how much Oil is thrown out after One Flight on those Rotary Powered birds of Sir Peter Jacksons collection. Then I think about How well maintained engine and airframes are compared to those in Actual Service in WW1. They could and probably did go from No Oil stains to filthy in very little time. Your weathering is perfect to My Eye  8)

Thank you Rick. These were EXACTLY my thoughts !

Time for some Computer work?

Whenever possible I use scans of the actual kit part for tailoring my masks

And here we go?

Clever way of getting the masking right! I have been tempted to get a cutter myself... Maybe one day...

So far it looks really great!  ;D

Thank you very much Xan, Nigel, Warren, Rick and Ben!

Nigel, no problem. It?s a Silhouette file, done with silhouette studio. Of course I can send you the data.

Warren, on Christmas before last Santa had brought me a plotter. After two years of more or less avoiding to start getting into the software I am finally able to do some drawing on the computer and cutting my own vinyl masks. I am far away from the perfection e. g. Frank (bughunter) is able to achieve, but I keep on learning  :)






Well, masks are off, time for the decals; I used only the serial numbers and the cat markings:
