Mrs is in Washington, DC for a few days so have had time to work a little more on the Berg. Landing gear added after adding .-15 brass wire to the ends where they would glue on the fuselage. White band unmasked and sprayed Tamiya gloss to keep down the finger prints and get me something slippery to add the 'T's on the sides, top and bottom. I don't know if you noticed in the earlier photo of the top wing but I had to cut down the length of the crosses as they were too wide for the wing. This morning I cut the white areas off some spare decals and added them over the black ends to complete the white outline. The tail cross is a little wide for a Berg (I borrowed it from an Albatros set) but it's close enough. I may reduce the white outline with some brown and green paint at a later stage.
Need to add the details to the engine, side MG and figure out how I'm going to do the struts. I have the large wing struts but the ones from the fuselage to the top wing are missing from the parts. Thinking to add some strength to the model I'll make the vertical struts out of brass stock and place down in the fuselage as deep as I can and then file a deep pin on the top and use 5 minute epoxy to set the wing. I won't make any additional posts until the model is more along in construction.
Rigging will be EZ line.
Any questions let me know.
Charlie
