That's the most realistic looking model cat that I've ever seen!  ;D

Cheers,

Stefan,
    Thanks for the info on the "green-grey". I hope to find a display of Vellejo's products next time I have the opportunity to shop in the "big city", for now I am forced to mix my own. It's encouraging to see that you are using apparently the same colour as I am.
Cheers,
Lance

More progress to report: the fuselage was blackened, using a paintbrush and a thin mix of a very dark grey and some kind of beige colour to achieve a faded and worn look. This is not too visible on the upper foto, i know.


I was not in a mood to provide you with better fotos. The reason is shown here, in the second foto.
Despite the tips i received on decaling, the horizontal tail plane's underside has do me remade completely. The plastic had been painted before decaling, but to no avail.

Bad luck.

That's a bummer about the tailplane Stefan :(

I'm sure you'll be able to rescue the situation.
The rest of the DVIa looks superb!!

I am still progressing. Thanks to an inmature testflight the Roland performed from my desktop onto the floor, the progress is rather slow. Struts were broken, the MGs flattened and my nerves crushed.

Anyway, i have started attaching the rigging.

I have no problem in making turnbuckles, using the proven method of brass-rods cut to size, combined with fishing-line for the cables. But: What is a useable way of representing the splicing on the cables? Using the same brass-rod (that is already of tiny 0,5mm diameter) seems to be oversize...

The rest of my progress, the salvage operations after testflight are still ongoing.


Stefan

Once more i have problems in putting the fotos inside my text, which is rather weird. Maybe someone here can enlighten me how to use this piece of software...

   Stefan,
Awful new about the unauthorized test flight my friend. I have every confidence you'll soon have everything back in it's proper order.
Highest Regards,

Friends,

as i am too dumb to add more photos in the appropriate "Ready for Inspection" thread, please allow me to show one more here.
Sorry for my inability - i hope the link to photobucket works.
