Can you give some information on Archer's rivets? How did you apply them - and can you recommend this product?

Just catching up with your build, Willi -

Great detailing work - your seat and fuel tank look stunning.   Good luck with the rest of your build.

Regards

Dave

Willi,
   Like Dave I'm catching up. I thought the fuel tank was great but the seat is even better. This is very nice work you are doing, I'll be following more closely..........
Well done so far!
Cheers,
Lance

Wow Thank you!
                   Nigel,Martin,Patrick,Stefan,Dave,Lance,Przemol,Adam & Bob ,I`m glad everyone like what I have done with the LVG .

       Thank You ,
                 Mietec ,I`m still waiting for the Package from Tomek . I love the Storch you did in Swiss markings .It looks awesome !I may do that scheme with  a 1/32 scale plane I have . It`s better then the green scheme`s !


  I hope to have the cockpit completed this week , I added a few more details which took more time but hope the results will improve the plane .. most might not be seen . I stole the compass from my Albi .

Some more photo`s :











These photo`s still don't show the compass and rear cockpit detail`s . Will be added later this week .

 Thanks for all the comments ,

                                         Willi

Thanks Bo ,

  It wont be seen . It happened by accident . I left the alcohol on with out drying it off . I sprayed the tank in a few layers .Tamiya Flat black then Titanium gold another coat of black then a coat of Vallejo bright brass then gloss black .I let it dry for an hour then with a brush put Tamiya thinner in a few spots and brushed off the paint lightly till I liked the way it looked .

Too bad it won't be seen, it looks totally convincing.

Accident or no, remember that technique!

Your LVG is looking absolutely awesome Willi, the interior work is excellent especially the wood colour, well done so far.
