Looking very nice, Adam.

Lovely work Adam, dont forget to fill out the middle tailplane section before you paint it though, I don't know what Rodens reasoning was for moulding it shallower. Impressive so far.

Putty - sandpaper - putty - sandpaper.......

In meantime I'm cutting off small parts - monotony

Fuselage is ready for painting.

When I finished my work with bottom of the fuselage one of my polish friend told me, that easier will be putting peace of tinfoil.
On this picture it is pretty visible that it is good idea, probably I will do this:

Now I'm preparing for painting streaking camouflage.
First test of Lifecolors paints.

I made test model to see result of painting.

Yes, we all know the monotony of filling and sanding... And cleaning the parts cut off the sprues...

The test version of streaking does look fine. Yet, I guess it is 72nd scale Dr.I and I am afraid the same technique may not work so well on larger surfaces... I wish you luck and am looking forward to see the final result.

Thanks Przemol.
You are right with painting technique. I made another test on bigger surface, it look not good. I will have to make test with different brushes. I'm using flat brush for small model was OK, but here I have to find bigger and I will do it again. Earlier I tried to do streaking by airbrush, but it wasn't good idea.

Adam, I am really looking forward to see your results. I can hardly remember a model with convincing streaking, probably what Wojtek Fajga did once using his decals was closest to reality IMHO. That is why I avoid this camo, I have built black Jacob's Dr.I and have plans to build red/white Raben's one later. Streaking intimidates me.

Adam,
What PrzemoL said.

Seriously, it IS hard to make convincing streaking. I was talked into doing a Fokker tripe as my first kit when returning to scale modeling and this aspect alone frustrated me more than any other aspect, and my learning curve was steep never having worked with p/e, resin, used and airbrush, etc. ever before.

Hang in there, we're all pulling for ya!

Looking quite excellent so far. I have another Encore boxing of the same kit I'll have to crank out one day. When I do, I hope it turns out as nice as yours is looking.
