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.

I suspect the kit provided PE jackets and gun body are correct, but I intended to use (and still may), the Master barrels and those are apparently not correct for the E.II/E.III. (The Master barrels generally are simply outstanding additions to dress up a model.)

Now that I can paint again, I gave the wings (top this time), a base coat of Tamiya Buff, (looks much better than the photo shows).

I went ahead and base coated the prop with acrylic too.

Wheels now get some grunge; should look lots better after some pastels and a wash.

Hello FB:

Your model is coming along nicely.  The swirls look good and looking forward to more.

Thanks a bunch. On some early E's, I've noticed that the ammo box is also swirled, but not always. Is there some sort of rule as to when this was done, and when it was not?

I'm playing with some different ideas for adding a small amount of grunge to exterior, and I think this shows some promise, (once refined a bit).

I added the oil indicator gizmo, and did some minor dirtying up, but I'm not too pleased with the appearance, so I may redo.

Looks like quenching brass in cold water had no ill effect; MG jacket was easily rolled into a nice tube.

Prop gets first coat of oil for a nice pecan color.

Owing to an oversight on my part, front metal area of floor had not been painted; I have now corrected this. Looks OK I think, so I'll leave it alone.

Some good progress there FB, nice work. However, forgive my ignorance, what did you mean by grunging up the exterior as the pic is of the interior?

I could be wrong but, I think He was trying out a new technique to show the oil
staining and using the already painted interior as a palette.

Right. Not anything new really, just new to me. To see how the thinner and paint colors might look/react to the acrylic, I used the painted interior to experiment on. With a little more refinement, I think this'll work out OK on the exterior areas I want to grunge up.

Grunge away FB, I much enjoy and definitely prefer a weathered finish and I have lots to learn, I'll be watching closely.
Cheers,
Lance :)
