LVG C.VI, Pegasus 1/72

A tip I'll have to keep in mind -I assume you used a saw to cut the edges and bent the surfaces in the desired position from the looks of your picture? I usually work like that, but cleaning the edges is quite difficult.

Nicely done. It definitely gives the model a little more "life" to have a slight deflection on the control surfaces.

Outstanding work on the control surfaces! Looking terrific!

I agree with Ian - slightly offset control surfaces do give models a more realistic look. Great work on this one.

The Pegasus shows a plain underside. But this is not correct. The LVG had some hatches there for engine ventilation, camera openings, maintenance and aerial.

I scratched them from sheet and stretched sprue. The little holes will be field with stretched sprue stumps, to simulate the pulleys. Along these pulleys ran the wire to open and close the camera hatch

More very nice detailing here. This really is going to be something special!

Eight weeks are gone ´since my last posting. Wow. But I am still in the buisness. But not a lot has happened.

I added the fuselage struts and painted the metal parts in graygreen (similar to RLM 02). Aditionally, as base for the lozenge decals, all wing and tailplane surfaces have been painted in white.


Next step will be shading.

Nice to see this is still ongoing! I'm looking forward to seeing it with the lozenge on.

I agree with Ian - glad to see this one is still making progress.
