I seem to have been sidetracked from this one by the RE8
A good part of that can be put down to the fact that after applying the decals, I noticed that the fuselage and tail squares were not square...on one side only! For some reason, Eduard had printed one each of the tail and fuselage decals as rectangles, instead of squares....they were a good 1mm longer than they were high. How I hadn't noticed before I don't know, but it was pretty obvious once I actually looked at them! Since I had mixed the paint for the fuselage, I therefore had to try to remix it to match.....
Fast forward a few weeks.....I finally got around to fixing the paint and decal issues. I repainted the fuselage and used aftermarket decals, then touched in with paint to get the white field all the way to the edges.
Next up was adding the Spandau, king posts, engine, and cowling, then rigging the undercarriage. I have also made a start on rigging the king posts......

Hopefully I can get this off the bench fairly soon now!
