Excellent work on the lozenge, Rick.
Good choice with the darker undercoat, my old friend.

Cheers & merry Christmas,
Ernie :)

Thanks Willi, Your comments are appreciated. As for the weathering I have two processes in mind. One is post shading with Tamiya smoke. The other involves something I saw on this Forum using dots of oils blended in to the lozenge. My Issue here is that I can't seem to remember/ find the Build Log that explained the method  :-[ I think it was a Fokker DVII build. So if anyone remembers or is familiar with the Dot weathering method please point me in the right direction?

The Aviattic Lozenge is now applied to all surfaces of the wings. Again this is a really well done cookie cutter sheet. The few touch ups I will need to do are entirely self created! Once all is sealed and touched up I will do the weathering as stated earlier. I also intend to get back to the Salmson on my next off work rotation.

Well done Rick my friend. It really looks impressive! You master the lozenge placing remarkably. This is a lovely Pfalz. And now I wonder how your Salmson is going on, really looking forward to see the progress on that one!

Kind regards
Patrick

Gorgeous looking lozenge, Amigo!  The rib tapes are actually directly on each rib.  Remarkable, especially with a cookie cutter.  Bravo!
Cheers,
Bud
