Lloyd C.V Special Hobby 1/48

[xmald]

Heloo!
I`ve bought this one as an almost completed model. I wanted to add some details to the cockpit and change tha Austro Daimler 185 HP engine so I`ve ruined it a little bit 
Still I like this plane so much and the kits are so hard to buy for reasonable prices that I decided to fight with this what I have.
I`ve added the seatbelts and replaced the observer`s seat. I also added the hatch in the floor. Behind the observer`s seat I`ve placed two drums for the Schwarzlose MG. Maybe I`ll add some more but I have only two pics of the Lloyd cockpit from Windsock International and I don`t know if there are more?
The engine is from Oeffag D.III model (I`ve got Karaya`s resin one for this kit).
Thanks for watching! More to come in the next episode...

G'day, Filip.

I don't think you ruined it, mate.  At least there's noting ruined that I could see- that engine looks pretty good.

Cheers.

I agree with Dal, Filip.  Your efforts looks good to me. 
Keep up the good work.

Thanks gents! What I meant by saying that I ruined it is breaking some parts here and there and seperating the two fuselage halves using a brute force

Remember Filip, to make a tasty omelette, you have to break a few eggs.
Sorry...had to use that one!

In this case a Wiener Schnitzel is my dish of choice...

I` ve strarted to paint the woodgrain. A little exagerated I think but some clear varnish along with orange may do the job (or not)...

[IFF1418]

Filip the woodgrain is extraordinary as is the interior. I certainly couldn't find anything ruined. That is more my kind of job. Keep on the great work!

Kind regards
Patrick

Sorry for the poor quality shots - the weather is pretty nasty though.
I`ve given my Lloyd the coat of clear orange mixed with Future. I`ve been working on the radiator today.
I must admit that the more I look at this bird the more I like it.

[ALBATROS1234]

nice one man.

[RAGIII]

The wood is looking great! This bird looks better with each update!

Cheers Building this one is a dream come true cause I liked this one since I was a child. I remember this first time I`ve seen it was in Polish markings with broken fuselage.

Awesome work on the wood grain, Filip, and there's so much of it.  That's what I love about this ship.
Cheers,
