The ammunition box is completed.
I ordered a propeller of Copper States and get. He is very handsome! Unfortunately, the shape is not quite as I need them. So it must be reworked to the hub (too large) and sheet (form). On the pictures you can see a prop as I had already precut him.
Cheers

Beautiful job on the ammo cans, Martin!  And the prop looks promising.  Are you going to use the one that you started or are you going to reshape the one from CSM?
Cheers,
Bud

Martin,
    That's a great bit of detailing you are doing so getting the correct prop makes sense. The CSM one looks to me like an Axial prop or possibly a Heine, your hand carved looks to be the Neindorf prop for a Dr.1. In English we say "the devil is in the details", it's so true! Keep up your magnificent work, your model is one of a great kind, nicely done so far!
Cheers,
Lance

Thank you very much Lance.
We have the same in German" Der Teufel steckt im Detail".
Because the prop would be the Camel one. See Picture.

Have the propeller blades and hub ground to correct shape and made hole in the hub.
Painting comes later.
Cheers

Nice job on correcting the propellor, Martin.  That will be spectacular when you get it re-varnished.  Very nice.

That's a very nice rework on the prop, Martin. It will be, as Chris says, spectacular when refinished. This whole Build is looking better every time I check on it.
Cheers,
Lance
