Thank you,

The lower wing.


It's not too transparent I think.



I have too much beige paint and the cross has almost disappeared.

On the pictures of the plane the central plate seems absent as well as the tank on the wing. We see the sky through the wing ...

In addition there is a tank under the wing that I had not seen:



As on this BII:




If anyone has any details about his form, I will be very happy ...

I like the subtle see through effect. As always your research into the details is paying off.

It's a wonderful build. My recommendation would be to change the kit's wheels for replacement ones (eduards Pfalz kits have exactly the right dimension when I remember corrrectly). The wheels of the Special Hobby kit are way too fat.

Thank you Borsos.

I had not looked at the wheels yet ...
I think I have a pair of Pfalz wheels somewhere.

Really like what you have done. The thing that really grabs me is the circular knot hole grain in your simulated ply fuselage. That is simply First Rate.

Thank you!


Hello,

That's it, it's dry and varnished.

The covers are painted in light green XF76 (if not gray).





I tried to paint white oil paint to make the dragon and the crocodile ... it does not work, the white is not opaque.

It will be decals...

The crocodile in white is made with a stencil.





It is then varnished and the fine lines are painted with oil paint.

I tried (and I made a mistake by cutting the stencil that's why it's upside down ...):

The dragon is finished:



It remains to remake the varnish that was damaged under the belly during sanding.



The crocodile has been modified with large scales under the belly. The hind legs (only one here) I put them a bit like everyone more or less random because there is no picture to my knowledge ...
