Hi all,
I've completed painting of the floats and their support struts.
I want to try to represent the acid free tar that was general applied later in WW1.
After priming I airbrushed Tamiya Deck Tan followed by Burnt Umber oil.  Then a couple of light coats of hair spray (don't seem able to get chipping fluids to lay down properly) and a top coat of Tamiya Rubber Black with a few drops of Hull Red added.
Slight chipping then a sealing coat of semi-matt.
I didn't want it to look 'too' chipped, so what I have done is hopefully more like a 'worn through' look.

Hi all,
I didn't like the solid molded engine exhaust pipes, so rather than drilling them out, I made them from 1.6 mm diameter micro-tube.
Inside each is a 1.4 mm tube and inside that tube is a 1.0 mm rod, which is the location 'peg' that fits into a 1.0 mm diameter hole, drilled into the exhaust pipe recess in the cylinder head.
The pipes have yet to be painted of course.

Truly like what you are doing/have done so far.  Your detailing is really paying dividends.

That looks very good, excellent work on the engine.
I like your idea to make the exhaust pipes more realistic with brass pipes.
The floats and the struts also look very good.

Mike,
    Superb work on the engine, the finish on the exhaust pipes is spectacularly realistic. This really is remarkable work! 8) 8) 8) 8)
Cheers,

Wow, theese are the most realistic looking exhaust pipes I have seen. The gray dust and the blue, just great.
Bye,

Mike, I like the engine finish, even the inside of the exhaust pipes look great.

Hi all,
Front end completed as well as all decals (Aviattic) and smaller parts.
Next step is to assemble the wings and floats plus what rigging is required,

It looks amazing, but aren't these the wrong guns?

Hi all,
Thanks for your comments.

wmcgill:
Good spot.
The Machine guns supplied with the kit are molded solid with no perforations through the cooling jackets.
The kit does supply wrap around photo-etch cooling jackets, which I chose not to use.
Instead and as they were 'Spandau' 08 weapons, I replaced them with resin versions from 'GasPatch Models, although the breech block had to be modified slightly to fit in the fuselage apertures.
The only obvious difference between the kit item and the 'GasPatch' version is the muzzle, which is shorter on the kit item.
Now you've spotted that difference I'll nip the extended muzzle off,

Mike I think your engine is running a bit rich.

Really good looking work sir.

Hi all,
The floats plus cross brace rigging are fitted, so now onto fitting the rudder and ailerons with their rigging,
