Hello Paolo:

I like all three of your streaking jobs.  I am partial to the blue Kempf, but the tan one looks equally as nice, I like the toned down brown of the blue one.  I agree with Bo, the wheels should be like in the photo.  You're almost there  amigo.

Best

thank you all!
I really appreciate your encouragement, I need it here! :'(

in fact, the model is suffering, okay, but here is exaggerated!!



I started putting the decals, thinking to do some postshading after a coat of transparent to protect them.
wrong idea.
first of all the decals , apparently well placed and dry, revealed a wild silvering after the coat of transparent.
2382

I solved it by making cuts with a scalpel and by filtering in the tamiya decals solution. I'm usually very careful to use it , since it's particularly aggressive, but this time I have not done scruples.
2386

then, I masked to give a pale blue colour to the third Dr.I, the one without the turquoise base above and below.
the one that can be seen on the belly of the bottom is the holy shroud of the decal.. I think it's right. too much right. I'm still counting to not scream in rage...
having finished black crosses decals, I think I'll paint them... ooooooooooookay........
2389

of course also the fuselage's K (partially) abandoned. lord give me strength... here I've already taken the contours black. tomorrow I'll paint the white inside.
2390

the upper wing of the sand's kempf. I'll have to do for the other one some masks, since my friend prefers the lettering without the black border. if nothing else painting them will make them not jump off!
2393

Now I dread to mask again to make postshading. damn me and when I agreed to do this Dr.. >:( >:( >:(

about the wheels, I decided to make them like that thinking about the method of painting the wings on the real aircraft: consider adopting the same system for radial strips of paint makes me think it would come out just a big mess..
maybe (definitely) I'm wrong, but now I realized that this project was born bad, better make peace with this concept and try to close it!

markings look great!

Reconsider the wheels covers. I'm not making this up. ;)

mmmmmmmmhhh. dunno.... ::)

meantime I think about the wheels, I tried some postshading.
needless to say, other decals went damaged in the demasking process... how much patience.
 
so, no more postshading with airbrush.
here after some restoration, just to see how bad is the whole.
2395

bye, p.

hi ho!

who isn't die, show himself!
I must admit that this project had me deeply disappointed, so all these months I did something else, not winged, in the time devoted to modeling ... but here I am, I hate to leave things unfinished.

I tried to address the many flaws of the final result of this trio of triplanes with the effects of glossy-matte alternating strips. effects are not definitive, but it seems promising.
0365

then I have dedicated myself to engine exhaust and stains with a range of ready made products and oils diluted.
0371

0372

0373

0375

I made a single propeller, here still to be completed, to see if I was persuaded about, and I honestly do not know, if it persuades me...
0383

and then I moved on to the final assembly. machine guns, upper wing, landing gear, tie rods. the latter have been embarrassing, especially in the black areas ... 5,000 lumens were not enough to show me the cables!
0379

but in the end...
0466

0467

I used the excellent bob's tubes just in a couple of points..
0468

while to assemble the upper wings I used provisional brass pins to adjust the angle of connection to the fuselage. I still have to replace them with something definitive.
0469

and here we are.
0470

0472

0474

still missing dust, mud, further stains, and I'm thinking at a semigloss overall overspray..
0416

0424

0435

Now it comes to understanding how to permanently close this ugly chapter and look to the future, inevitably WNW...

bye bye, p. ;)

In spite of your frustrations you have achieved STUNNING results! Your Streaking is certainly amongst the best I have seen and the Markings on all look fabulous! I love the Oil Stains from the engine!
