All righty then...
More work done on the Eindecker. Here I am adding the center stripe prior to adding the red and black stripe decals
The wraparound decals for the striping were a major pain, grrrrr! I ended up free-handing the stripes for the center portion. I think the red strip is a little wide, but I didn't really notice until I started putting decals on, so no going back. I don't think it looks too bad. On the top portion of the wings I lightly drybrushed some light olive green for higlights on the internal spars and ribs.
On the bottom, I did the opposite, I preshaded the ribs and used light olive green between the spars to sorta kinda simulate light shining through the wing. The effect is very subtle, probably too subtle.
Here I'm doing some light weathering on the wings and I put a gas stain around the gas cap behind the pilot. I have found most of the weathering techniques used on larger scales don't look very good at 1/72, so I keep it to a minimum. It's not very noticeable, but I cut a piece of sprue to make a pully on the bars above the gun. The cowling has a rough texture, but is more subdued than my original efforts. I will need to sand that a bit. Next is rigging the plane and then putting on the last small parts
