Wonderful work.
Very original try with the wood grain. We have to wait the final result to have a good idea of the work.
I always wonder aboutthe wwod question grain. did paint cover or not the wood?
I'l thinking about the Baumer decoration...

This result is very interesting, and I imagine to use clear tamiya paints:
but is it realistic?
sorry for the digression...

Yes xan it is a bit different. I am new to WW1 modeling so thought I would try it out. It isn't perfect but meh. That's a nice pic of Baumer's plane. Where is that from?

Cheers

The fuselage decals turned out excellent, a very stunning scheme, and the engine is superb, well done Anthony. The wings are shaping up nicely with the shading done very well.

The wings are done and I have put the MG's, windscreen, exhaust etc onto the fuselage. I have now started on making some turnbuckles using Des' awesome tutorials.

Hi all, Slow progress as I have been making turnbuckles and eyelets but tonight I finished attaching the line to the lower upper wing. Now I need to attach the upper wing to the rest of the plane but after a test fit I am unsure how to go about it. There seems to be a lot of tension on the outer joins and when I am trying to line up the inner joins it is all wobbly and very hard to work with an I am worried about breaking one of the spars (not sure what the supports are called). Does anyone have any tips as this is very stressful.









Cheers and thanks for looking

Anthony

Well after a day spent rigging I am in the home straight- just the prop and a radiator pipe to do. Here's some pics of where she is at. The photos show she needs a good dusting and a bit of a tidy up but I am happy with how she looks.



















Cheers and thanks for looking
