Masking to paint the ribs in very dark grey to give the black wing some feeling of depth.











Adding the bungee cords.





Putting the Spandaus in place, something tricky cause I have to adapt them to the frame (and one of them slip twice, with the upper wing just glued, putting again in your place was a newer kind of hell :blink:)

And now the thrilling stage of biplanes; rigging or "hell on earth".
I use a stretched thread that a fellow modeller give to me some years ago.
Cause the thread is white I have to painted in gunmetal color.
I choose this method cause I had used stretched sprue on another aircraft some time ago and some rigs lost its stifness, and
in if you touch any rig by accident the stretched thread can bear the blow without any consequences with this kind of thread.
I use CA to glue the rigs.

Ahhhh!  Thanks!  I don't think I've seen that image before. What book is it in?

Thanks!

I guess that it belongs to the instruction sheet of Wingnuts 1/32.

Home made Pfalz logo decals and cutting it with a punch and die.




And at last, the finished model. As a matter of fact I´m waiting for the Ammo MiG products fuel and oil stains for making some weathering at the fuel pipe, but excepting that, that´s all folk. I hope you liked it.

These are Axial logos by LF decals. Really nice.

Wow, what a nice looking model, you have done en excellent job with the building and painting of this model and the rigging turned out really well, an amazing result with a small scale.

Beautifully done. Black is not an easy colour to work with but you've pulled it off nicely.

Truly extraordinary work, Edgardo, especially in such a tiny scale!  What a beautiful little gem you've created!
Cheers,

That is a great model! I do like the black effect you have achieved. The machine guns are very special and have great detail! They must be very fragile...

Well done!
