  Kevin,
Somehow I'd managed to miss this thread until now. Outstanding work to date my old friend. I love your machine work to the metal panels.
Highest Regards,

Replicating the swirl pattern looks fraught with difficulty to me, but you take to it like a duck to water. Great job!

Cheers,

Chris

Wings given a base coat of Tamiya Buff. I'll highlight the ribs later, and add some dirt and stains.

Went to (finally), do some more painting on this today, painting the tires first with a lighter gray (may still be too dark, but I can live with it), only to discover that my CO2 tank is virtually empty. Very frustrating, but I’ll run out and get a refill tomorrow. I’ve been involved in other stuff the last couple of weeks, and valve may not have been closed tightly enough, allowing all the air (600psi), to leak out.

Nice work. Im just catching up on this thread. Let me get this straight (and be lazy by not looking it up myself) -  the Master jackets are for later Fokkers and Alby's etc NOT the EIII's.

Coming along very nicely Kevin, it's all looking really good. I didn't know about the machine gun difference either, I will have to look into it. Sorry to hear about your gas loss, a real bummer when things like that happen.

Yes thats right, the EIII uses a IMG08 Maxim and the later A/C use LMG08/15 Maxim's. I remember something being said by Richard Alexander when people were mistakenly fitting after market jackets to the Hansa Brandenberg, a point I remembered as the Rumpler uses the IMG08 too.  The easiest way to identify which is the fact the top pf the main body on the IMG08 is flat, on the LMG08/15 its stepped down behind the breech assembly.

Is there any particular reason why the PE jackets in the kit need replacing?  Or are the Master guns just better or more detailed overall?

I'm waiting for my E.III to arrive, and I'm a total WWI newbie, so I'm curious.

That's what Korn says, and he's probably right, though I'm not real certain it'll bother me for it to be incorrect.

Yep, 600psi lost. My new tank (just picked up today), is currently reading 700psi, so I'm good to go.
