SSWIII/ Eduard/1:48

Krzysiu I also did not read the instructions carefully, and I had a big problem with applying the AVIATTICS decal . The surprise for me was a long time soaking in water.

Thanks, but i did a mistake with shading the ribs. It should not be visible as the result. Thanks Richard for the hint. I will enhance the final look little bit

 Krzysiek,
Outstanding project my old friend. Love the interior but I'm most impressed with your lozenge application. Keep up the excellence.
Highest Regards,

Hello Krzysiek,
very nice interieur and build.
As you have said, I am also not 100% happy with your preshading of the wings. Maybe you can cut rib tapes from lozenge decal with white back and place them over the dark ribs?

Hi,
what is the exact point you don't like on the wings? Is it the grainy, speckled appearance? Too many color and to less diluted I would guess. But I can't see such a huge problem here. If I were you, I'd spray some thin coats of very heavily diluted buff color over the wings. That would intense the weathered look (ok, no long service times for the SSW D III, but well...) and reduce the shading effect a little.
Anyway I love your built, this is a very fine D III !

Very nice progress on the SSW. The cockpit is looking great, but I agree with you when it comes to the wing lozenge. What happened? And what is Richard`s hint?

[KrzysiekK]

Hi,
Richard and Borsos state same solution to the issue so I will follow. the decals were varnished already and crosses implemented, so I would go for more weathering as used in field. Now we have such situation, I will let you know final result

Hi,
The engines: no comment (left – set from the kit, Karaya on right. The difference in diameter approx. 0,2 mm). Under those circumstances decided to resize Karaya little bit. Here we have the results

I simply can`t understand why you`ve decided to use the Karaya`s engine instead of the original one since it`s sooo much better 
When I first opened the box I couldn`t believe my eyes - is it really an engine from Eduard`s model? it looks worse than those from old Aurrora kits...
Good job!

[coyotemagic]

Good call, K!  The Karaya engine is so much better.
Cheers,
Bud

good work on the engine.

Hello,

The engine was placed on spot and this part is done just waiting for final assembly. I have also anchored the rigging and can finally present the prop, which was done couple of week ago and left for drying. Wondering if should enhance the tone little bit to get it darker?
