Thank you so much Des and Gregory!!!

Few small correction made since to get "right" shape and keep it square was real struggle!!!! Well... still is :)

  Lukas,
 I know what you mean my old friend. I've had the same difficulties building up the airframes for my own projects. I've found it very useful to build over the plans sort of as you would for an old stick and tissue kit.Pinning everything down helps to keep it square and true too.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

Hi Gregory!!!

That is exactly what I did!!! I would never get it into the shape without tape it all to the paper and just "flooded" with Tamiya thin glue :) Im pretty sure I read about this somewhere on Des's build but I could be wrong...

And hello again here too!!!

Pictures of finished engine... Managed to find spare spark plugs that Lukasz from Taurus sent me as extras on the start of the year - Thank you!!! ;)





And finished side of the hangar...



Propeller in on its way, wheels are being re-done and some parts for wheels stollen from WNW D.VII :) Those that won't be needed so all good :) Also still working on the wing "dimple" look - takes forever!!!! :D

Beautiful work on the engine. And that wooden wall looks spectacular, too.

Lukas - fantastic work! The wood looks really good - perfectly weathered and distressed. Can't wait to see how this pans out!

Hello again!!!

I'm making little progress through wing on my Fokker, added some nails, maybe bit too many but I will try and make them less visible when paint it ;)
Also making some final touches on propeller - waiting for oils to dry so I can apply final coat of varnish and do the centre of it... used pencils and oil paints for woodgrain finish.







That's it, I'm off to nail some more planks to my hangar ;)

Cheerio
Lukas
