Great work on the cockpit and the engine. Your streaking is clever and beautiful!

While Lloyd's oil cover is drying I got back to Fokker and did some improvement
First on the tail. I have used original decals as finally will be covered with the paint





Then used Aviattic 5-coloured lozenge. Incredible quality & result!!. It went even better than in Bastyr's D.VII (4 coloured)

Very nice. I particularly like how you used the loz on the stab and elevator and just let it barely show through. You pulled that one off perfectly.

I agree 100%, K!  That's about all the kit lozenge is good for.  You did a superb job with your pre-shading also.
Cheers,

Catching up. Great idea. Kit decals are handy as you've used them. Nothing wasted.

Very colourful, I love the contrast of the lozenge, the red nose and the camouflaged fuselage!
Not meant as critisism, but if the aircraft fuselage is in streaked camoufage, would the elevator/tailplane not be in the same streaking instead of shine-through overpainted lozenge?

Look forward to the next installement! :)
