It's looking good, Krzysiek. Have you thought about leaving the swirls showing through the "2"? It's not unusual for darker colours to show through white paint and your last shot looks like a hand-painted squadron number.

As we can see no. on the fuselage was made without shinning through, the paint is dense and visible ...I do not know the implementation technique on lozenge...maybe some photos could help.
Nevertheless still working on DIII.

BM came forward as a priority.
2 aircrafts under construction on small single desk that is too much for me

Current situation behind the lines looks as follows:

- upper wing finished and ready for assembly.
- I have finished the rudder using the same method as above i.e. some weakening of Tamiya mask glue and careful implementation on decals.

-self made turnbuckles. These are the thinnest I can perform, there are about 20 of them.

- the fuselage is done in general…,

- now I am doing the lower wings. I have made mixture of 5 colors of paint for linen imitation and looks ok for me

and day light

so doing little steps whole parts assemly is comming inevitably..

to be continued..

Excellent progress so far Krzysiek, your fuselage wood looks great and the colours you are using for the linen is perfect, especially in day light, keep up the good work.

Krzysiek I made Eduards Oeffag D.II from the same 7th squadron, but with different painting, white 8. Whole fuselage was green and upper surfaces of wings was also green. Only ruder has swirls and I was afraid to paint checkers with masks and I just put decal with it on swirls decals and I had the same problem

like you have with 2 on upper surface of the wing but I give up. You are more courageous than I am. $:-\$

Krzysiek,
Your linen colour is very impressive, what colours did you use and from what paint line? Nice looking build and the "sworl" camo is really an eye catcher.
Cheers,
Lance

so let the story go on..

The lower wings has been finished

I have added some details just to make it look better

and it's time to mount the wings to the fuselage. I opted for the solution used by albatro experts. First top wing has been installed and then I'm going to fit the lower wing, which have a slight lift.

Hello guys,
Here you have the biplane as he stands on his own. Geometry is essentially preserved. All done without any complex auxiliary tolls just eyes and some glances from different angles.
So left to do: spoked wheels, fuselage wear, windscreen, small corrections and finito.
I can now confidently say that this is my most difficult model.

The last piece of the puzzle that appears in this thread are the wheels that offered by manufacturers. Since the BM is a little fattish compared to his younger brother, producer decided to keep the symmetry of the whole structure and tires seems to be pumped too much. Fortunatelly Part set was matched successfully and the whole waiting for final assembly.
