Szymon you rise the bar, specially for me, I'm just beginning this model, but I'm sure that mine not be so good as yours.
By the way I have the same question as gcn, I'm planning to paint lozenge by the Montex masks, and then paint blue on the fuselage.

Hello Szymon:

I like your use of oils on cowl, brings out the detail nicely.  Your shading on the fuselage sides is outstanding, just subtle enough to notice but not overly so.

Best

Simon, I am stunned by the close-up pictures of your model.  Your work is absolutely
superb. Your attention to detail is wonderful, particularly your staining and weathering.
 Can I ask what paint and thinner you used to achieve such a great finish?  Thanks, my
friend for sharing your talents.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

I really like the loose MG ammo-belt. That is something you do not see very often. Nice idea!

Immaculate modelling, Szymon. As usual from you. I am looking forward to see it in reality (in Bytom next year?).

Thanks friends, I'm glad to you like it. (GMC,Adam) Also at the beginning, I wanted to paint the lozenge on the fuselage, but after studying images  the original and I resigned of the idea. This is a lot of work and the effect would be hardly visible - in my opinion.
(Ernie) - I used paints - Tamiya  (blue) and MisterKit (yellow) and thinner from Gunze Hobby Color. I paint with airbrush Infinity.
Regards Simon

Good grief. There are many outstanding builds on this site, but this D.VII is looking rather special.

Lovely weathering, subtle yet effective.

I've not seen many better than this - if ever.
