Thanks Ernie.
This view of the D-III shows the scratchbuilt elevator and its translucency.
I've done that plummery: on this pic can be seen the wing tank pipes, made from folded and shaped copper wire, then painted dark copper (I guessed they were probably made of copper or brass). It is pretty crowded between the fuselage and upper wing.
On the other side, radiator ducts are visible, made of lead wire and plastic rod, slightly washed with rust. The serial number can be seen on the mast, as well as the radiator shutter, its handle and rails.
A "dryfit" rigging attempt with 0.15mm stretched sprue. A bit out of scale but it doesn't look bad. If i got it well, there's no turnbuckle below the upperwing, the wire simply goes through and eyelet and goes to the wing root then.
Marwitz's D-IIIa has received a coat of flat varnish which gives the aluminum paint the final "Silbergrau" look.
I have also coated the metal panels with flat varnish which makes them a little less shiny, and gives them a better aluminum look at the scale.
