Been pottering with a bit painting here and there over recent weeks, last night decided to start this in earnist to try and get it finished by the 15th. Construction starts with a few internal components in the cockpit. ![]() Then the rear engine and bulkhead are put together and the fuselage halves are joined. ![]() Fabrication of the cockpit internals starts in earnest next. ![]() This assembly is then attached to the lower wing spars. ![]() And this is then inserted into the fuselage. ![]() Some additional pipework and frames are inserted (very fiddly) ![]() attention then moves onto the instrument panel and various dials and decals applied for the instruments. ![]() ![]() The upper fuselage is then fixed, first fit problem the top section is marginally wider than the two halves and will require a little trimming to avaoid a step on the port side. ![]() Thats it so far. |

Thanks guys, this is a build that has produced some irrational trepidation with regard to the rigging, however that's still to be tackled but I have drilled some holes in preparation for it. Hu94 being used on the underside, another enamel which brushes rather opaque, in this photo the fuselage/lower wing has had two coats, the upper wing only one. I have given them a coat of Clear to try and help coverage. ![]() |

Mixed a light tan colour as close as I could get it to the Revell suggestion and first coats of the lighter green applied.![]() Don't expect accuracy when it comes to the colours, they will be a close approximation. |

WW1 fighters seem to have some very eye-catching colour schemes ...I can see why they are popular Andy |

Looking good John! As far as approximate colour goes, that what I always go with on my WWI builds. Your colours look fine so far. Lol. |

Cheers, the struts are quite delicate and the wing suitable thin, so a bit concerned about rigging it. |
