Hey Bo,

I've just ordered the fuel tank and 2 spinners, now just the wait for production and shipping to the UK. Fantastic parts, I look forward to seeing more of your parts in the future.

Hi Bo,

Just received a bunch of your items from Shapeways. Really nice stuff. One question though. I notice the parts are thin so do you recommend using a primer coat before painting?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi Mike, first of all, thanks...

yes, I definitely recommend priming the parts after cleaning. I personally like Alclad II Grey primer.

Thanks and you are very welcome!

Interesting.  Will you be doing cowling and metal panels?  Recommendation for covering the frame?

Shame Jasta B did not use the Halberstadt D.II/III.

[Pgtaylorart]

Great! Will you be selling this via Shapeways?

Will you be doing cowling and metal panels?

 Yes.

Recommendation for covering the frame?

I plan on trying tissue again first. Interested in what other modelers come up with.

Shame Jasta B did not use the Halberstadt D.II/III.

Ah but they did! Well, they had at least one Hslberstadt D type in the very early days, it was flown by Boehme. I don't think there is a photo of it. One of my favorite planes, and one I guess WNW will do sooner or later. But maybe! I would need good drawings.
