Bottom wing now on but I've just realised that I need to make a template for the Aviattic lozenge decals I've got so that should've been done beforehand ::)



On a more positive note I have started to make the templates for the top wing. I will cut out the plastic sheet underneath and make sure it's a bit bigger giving me some spare to play with.



If the worst comes to the worst I do have lozenge decals from another Eduard DV but I'd much rather use the Aviattic ones. Personal pride and all that.

Nice job so far.you have made much progress since the last time I checked in.I was reading above about the engine debate so I thought I would clarify.there is no good Mercedes d.iii engines for the Eduard/special hobby/etc kits in 1/48. The Roden d.vii engine won't fit without major surgery. The pavla and vector engines are based on the Roden engine block but spruced up to look better .Karaya does a Mercedes which is based on the Eduard block but to me is only a little better than the Eduard and has a couple of weird things about it. Someday maybe a company will do a series 160hp d.iii/ 180hp d.iiia /200hp d.iiiau for 1/48 that will fit Eduard/etc kits and we will be saved.til then we have to just detail the Eduard engines or chop up the kit to make the vector/rodens work.cheers

That really looks great!
Just a head's up: the tailplane alignment is often off from the lower wing on these Eduard kits.
