Thanks Martin and Ernie ,

Des thanks but you cant see the grain detail in the photo . the PE set really works and looks better in person .

This weeks Update :

 I have most of the engine done .I still have to add some small details and work on the magnetos since they are incorrect for this aircraft .









This is the only photo I could find of the aircraft I am doing ,



More to come soon ,

Thanks guy`s ,

  A little under the weather today . I was going to start with the wings this week . A few or hours on the engine and it will be done .

   Hi Richard , I like the Polish Eye ;) . I was lucky to get Wotjek`s decals and masks .
I have been dying to try out you lozenge decals . I hope to have some done by next week .
   Wotjek  is one of my favorite builders and love seeing his work online .


        Thanks ,Willi

The engine looks like it could start if you connected the ignition wires. Excellent work.

Thank You everyone ,

   I still have not hooked up the ignition wires yet so not sure if the engine will run .

   It`s been a while since I did anything on the LVG . I started working on the wings . Primed and painted . I used masks and tape for the Polish markings . I was not sure if the decals would hold up to the masking so I paint the markings first . Now the fun will begin !




More to come soon I hope !
