. All in all sometimes I miss the days of gluing two fuselage halves together around an engine of sorts and calling it good

Tell me about, Amigo!

I think I finally wrestled all of the panels into place, more  or less    I have also painted the entire fuselage with it's yellow coat of paint. Next a little work with pastels for shading and then the final coat of yellow. I will take some photos later today of the fuselage before the weathering.

Hi Rick,

As Bob already said, the yellow is very nice. It's a lovely build, I like it very much and very well done as Always.

Kind regards

Yes please. I really hope the Flugzeugstoff can be seen through the yellow.

Thanks Stefan! Yes right now more Lozenge is showing than I think I want. It is hard to tell from the photos but in REAL bright light almost the whole pattern still shows. I am going to have to be very careful drawing the line between too much and too little!

Here are the promised Photos:
Before weathering and a final coat of yellow.

Funny thing, the lighter but brighter lozenge is harder to cover than the darker uppersurface color....

It looks really good! Keep up the good work! I think yellow is a really hard colour to work with.

Thanks, I appreciate your feedback! Yellow is certainly interesting. for one thing every flaw in the surface shows! Something to remember for future builds!!

I really like the tonal differences between the (metal) cowling panels and the (fabric) fuselage.

Good work, Rick!  I appreciate how difficult the yellow is to work with.  Thanks for the
caution about it.  You are certainly pulling it off wonderfully.  The way the lozenge shows
underneath is great.  I look forward to more of this build, my friend.

Cheers,

Hi Rick,

Since I looked at the overpainted lozenge of Bud and yourself, I new world opened for me. Fantastic work. Your artists all the way!

Kind regards

Thanks again Stefan! Strange thing is that the tones were created by the differences of painting over the Lozenge Decals and the Plastic panels with the same paint!

Thanks Ernie! I really appreciate how you have been following my builds! Since posting the pics you are commenting on I have applied some rib/weathering/shading, and a final coat of yellow. Harder to pick up the Lozenge in the newest pics( I will Post Later), but I can assure you that the subtle show through is there. I got VERY Close to what I was after!!

Hi, Rick,

Super work on this project, my friend! And I certainly appreciate your comments on the interior lozenge from Aviattic. I plan to purchase loz from them for my DVII when I'm at the UK Nats late next week, and I certainly am happy to hear that you had such good results with them! 

[RAGIII]

Here are the latest pics: I have weathered a little, some fuselage shading and tail surfaces as stated in my reply to Ernie. The Lozenge See Through effect is there but you really have to look hard  I think that when I actually set up my lighting for better pictures it will be just a little more readily visible!
