hi there!
have you ever thought of making a mask and paint the insigna?
I was thinking of it as I fear that with such big a decal I am quite sure to siver it...
ciao

Not really. The Cartograf decals are of exceptional quality, and should smooth out without problems.

Excellent work, FB, I like the way you've done the weathering and the patterning on the cowls.  Thanks for the tip on the seat and cables, too- I've filed that for future reference.

Cheers.

Dal.

Thanks for the input fellas.

[Fokker boy]

Some progress this evening; cowl pieces added, and airframe painting begun. I'm still able to adjust the weathering a lot, so don't be too concerned with how it looks right now, This is just to show what I (generally), have in mind.

Thanks Greg. I'm having a pretty good time with it, but I'm pushing too fast I'm afraid, (anxious to be ready for my D.VII when it arrives).

Little PE blast shield added, interior edges of cowl thinned out with my Dremel.

[Fokker boy]

Rudder gets coated white. Later I'll gloss coat and decal, after dirtying up a bit.

[Fokker boy]

Elevators molded as one piece, but I magically turned it into two! Some CA fixed it right up though.

[Fokker boy]

I've only added three plug wires to engine, as that's all that will be visible from beneath.

[Fokker boy]

Engine base coated and details painted. A wash will make lots of difference I think.

Nice work on the engine etc. you arent going to let the engine spin? Looking forward to all this being drawn together.

Thanks again Greg. Bummer, I fixed up the MG, painted it, then noticed in photos that the portion with the gate sight has moved. Nothing a drop of CA won't fix up though.

Rudder gets some pastels to accent framework. Once I dust on some more white paint, it'll look much better, (I hope).
