Thank you, Frank, Ondra, Juan, Richard, Rick and Steve! Your comments are highly appreciated! Frank, yes, I painted the face freehand according to the only available b/w pic. It was painted at Jasta level using available colors with brushes as well.
Now I turned it into a biplane.
The fitting of the interplane and cabane struts was very nice, everything went tigether quite well. Only the inner front interplane struts could be a little longer. Before adding the topwing I drilled the holes and set the eyelets for the rigging. Now the plane needs its rigging (I am waiting for Bob's buckles. I hadn't realised in time that I had no tubes left. Luckily Bob already sent them quickly as usual and I am waiting for an envelope from GB...), another good cleaning, a last shot of dull varnish and some more oil staining on the metal parts.
I really like this kit. It is my second Special Hobby kit and although they look a little clumsy on their sprues they turn into nice little models when assembled.
Thank you!
Borsos
