The interior and engine look fantastic Nigel! I am going to keep up with the GB entries better than I have been.

Well, here I am the best part of three weeks later with a bit of an update. This one has been fighting me all the way plus I have been paralyzed with indecision over how to do the weathering. I spent far too many hours poring over photos of Eindeckers to decide how to weather this and paint some of the details. Plus a few issues which meant stripping and repainting some parts. I have finally got back on track and have most of the components ready for decalling with Aviattic decals. Here's a phot of a few of the bits so far:



Hopefully things will move a bit more quickly once I start the decalling........

Looking very nice Nigel 

What oil brushers/paints are you using for the staining?

[NigelR]

Thanks!

What oil brushers/paints are you using for the staining?

It's two layers of Tamiya brown panel liner to build up the basic staining then a final layer using a MIG Starship Filth oilbrusher to create some more subtle streaking and add a bit of density in places. Once the decals are on I will tweak the staining further with the Starship Filth oilbrusher - it's a great browny/grey oily colour.

Well, Nigel - it's good to see you aren't rushing things  Replicating the staining on Eindeckers seems like a science in itself. The under-coating to the Aviattic decals looks well done and I'm looking forward to seeing how it all works out down the road.
Cheers!

Coming together nicely.
I'm looking forward to seeing this on the flight line.
Cheers,

Thanks Gary and Bob, and yes, definitely no rushing here! It should speed up a bit now.....

Looks great

Missed the update Nigel - sorry about that. The engine looks so realistic I thought that if you add the ignition wires to the spark plugs and connect a battery, you could give it a test run!

In addition to the interior and engine preceding it, the weathering/staining of the fuselage and wheel covers looks fantastic.

Thanks for the kind comments Dave, Stephen and Warren, much appreciated.

A quick update (not a brilliant photo I am afraid....). I've applied all the Aviattic decals, touched up the few joins and now need to seal these in before I can finish off the decalling and move on to the next stages of weathering.

Ooooooh looking good
