For quite some time I do this model, but most of the time I spent with the Nieuport 17.
To the model I bought extras such as shown in the pictures.

On the fuselage have a plan to paint a lozenge using MONTEX masks, so that it shone through the blue like a cross.
The instructions does not have the numbers paint colors in the internet I found only Methuen numbers. Maybe someone know numbers paints e.g FS.., Humbrol...?

As always, start with the cockpit.

Here is woodgrain painting test using Edwuards masks for wood. I done it together with Nieuport.

Small progress.

I made rigging of the cockpit frames.

Fuel tank.

Fuel manual pomp

I painted the red strips on the cylinders of the engine.

Pilot's seat, got the belts HGW.
The rear wall of the cockpit got Lozenge.

Collective photo of all what I did yesterday.

To be continued.

Adam.

Brilliant start, Adam. You've made excellent progress and everything looks magnificent. I like the effect of the wood grain mask.
Cheers,
Bud

Friends, thank you for your kind words, they add me strength to struggle with this model.

Bo, maybe you're right to move this topic to the group build, I see that now is discussion to extend the duration of the project, but I think you're done your earlier Fokker.

How can I join to GB?

A long long time ago, work on this model have been suspended.
The reason was to finish the Nieuport 17

and the AC / NC-123K Black Spot from the Vietnam War.

Now it's time to finish this model.
Because the I spend a lot of time on business trips that I had little time to work on this model and still less time for the presentation of what I did, I'm sorry.

Now, a short report from what I did.

flight instrument panel looks like that.
