Really looking forward to following this one, Amigo!  My, oh my!  You sure are a busy lad!  3 at a time on the bench?  You're my hero!
Cheers,
Bud

great color scheme choice! I like this one a lot too, I'll have to pick up another dolphin or two to do all the schemes I want to! and prior to that, I should finish rigging my triplanes!

You Sir,  are a dedicated WWI modeller.  Three on the go at once...  impressive!
There are only two states to be in:  Queensland and blotto.

Off to a great start on what I still find a rather unusual looking, but strangely intersting machine! :)

Rick, I somehow missed this first time round - was looking for your Albatros builds. This is going to be another of your builds to watch - certainly you have made a very good start.

Stephen.

Thanks Stephen. I let this one go for a while waiting on the decals.

Thanks Amigo. Three at one time and three times as long to finish  ::)

Thanks Ian. I was planning on this scheme from the start even if Pheon had not done the markings.

Dedicated yes, but also SLOW!

Rick, glad to see you doing this build and this subject: my choice as well. But not for a while yet, so I can gather the build points from you and Mark to assist my effort "in the fullness of time."

Best of luck!  8)
Cheers!

Thanks for looking in. I hope to work on the interior a bit today. As for taking notes on a guild there have been some far better reference builds on here already  ;D

I have done some interior work this weekend as well as some painting of the fuselage. I used a base coat of Polyscale Sea Grey and then overpainted with Drooling BUlldog RAF blue, Thanks Ondra for supplying me with the excellent paints!

Wow! That’s a lovely blue!

Agreed! DB RAF blue is a winner with me!

You can add me to the list of fans of that colour.

 Rick,
I'm not normally a fan of blue, but this is excellent and very pleasing to the eyes my old friend.
Highest Regards,

Fantastic work on the interior, Amigo, and I agree with Jason regarding the blue.  Perfect.  Drooling Bull Dog?  Gotta get me some.
Cheers,
Bud
