Terri,
Your pre shading looks excellent and will show through the Aviattic Lozenge quite nicely! I also love your prop and MGs.

Make that two of us, T!  Looking fantastic.

Me too!  Well done, Terri!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Terri,
 I stopped by to what is going on here. Nice work!! 'pit came out very well; just the right amount of detail methinks. Good solution with the locating tabs as well. The pre-shade on the fuse and wings looks good, I'll be looking forward to the finished product.
 When are you going to step up to a WNW kit? Not that you've been asked this before....

Hi Mike ,

I wanted to replace the framing side detail , but this would have had AMS kick in and lead it self into a year long build . To me this doesn't have the right scale effect . Wonder kit though .

I have been asked before when I will take the plunge and build a WNW kit . I already have built one so far . Their SE5a and I also have their Pfalz D.IIIIa  waiting in the stash  ;D

I am not surprised by the Pfalz! I have a couple on the shelf as well. Nice save on the AMS, sometimes the faster progress is healthier for the mind.

Sorry that I haven't  been around much this past week for an up-date . Under the weather and sleeping lost .

The top lozenge is the wings and the fuselage has it lozenge applied which now needs it's final coat of white paint on the tail .
Under sides of the winga still need their lozenge applied and the rest of the decals , but she is getting there ....

Lookin' sweet Terri. Don't forget that the stbd rear fuselage is black, like the tailplane -- the illustration in your instructions is incorrect for the stbd profile (the top and bottom views have it right though)

Great job on the loz, T!  The preshading worked out beautifully.
Cheers,
Bud

I didn't forget at all Bo  ;)

Thanks guy's for the positive comments  ;D

All the decaling is done except for the logo's on the struts . At this point things started to turn south . The black on the spade markings bands bleed along the top edge when I added a little sol to snuggle down better  >:(  Hopefully I can cover this up with a bit of weathering .
