I painted the interior with Vallejo natural wood and then added an Uschi van der Rosten plywood grain transfer.. I will attempt to highlight the struts inside.

You have achieved a nice tone with your representation of the wood! Well done.

A sepia wash to highlight the ribbing.



Not sure what the silver flecks are on the  top half but only just noticed them.
Work started on the engine. Seems quite detailed but I think I may treat myself to one of the more specialised resin kits available  for another build but for the life of me I can't remember who makes them. Anyone know who I'm referring to?

You can try Karaya or Vector for a replacement engine . Pavla ? if this spelt right . Has a replacement one as well .  Taurus models might have one . They are list in the market section .

A great start, Toby!

The Vector, Karaya, and Pavla motors are all better detailed than Eduard's, but the Eduard motor is undersized, so if you get a replacement motor, you may have to do a little surgery on the front end of the kit to make it fit.

Drew is correct in his statement. I don't think any are a drop in replacement. Another Good option comes with the Roden Fokker DVII kits. They offer a BMW and a Mercedes which are better detailed than the Eduard kit. As with the resin engines they are larger and more true to scale so will require a little adapting. I might have a Roden  Mercedes in the stash, not sure but I will check. If I do you are welcome to it.

I do have the Roden kit somewhere so I'll go down that route but many thanks for your very kind offer. I'm going to stay with the Eduard engine on this kit but will definitely upgrade on future ones.
