Excellent progress, my friend @j-healy! The interior looks wonderful!

Coming together nicely, my friend @j-healy!

Very nice progress, John @j-healy

You are really moving quickly, John (@j-healy). The interior of both planes looks very good.

Excellent job on both, my friend @j-healy!

WOW ! I'm going to chime in here and echo what the others have stated. Like you, I really enjoy the German stuff too.

These two are looking fantastic . You are on a roll ... I especially like how you added the lozenge fabric on the inside of the cockpit. It looks exactly like it should.

More progress today. Mostly fixing a couple small seams and masking and painting. The SSW was sprayed with Mr. Color #3 red and Tamiya LP-11 silver after priming it with Tamiya white primer from the family size spray bomb. The forward fuselage and stabilizer/elevators of the Fokker were sprayed with a mix of Mr.Color #3 red and Tamiya LP-17 deck brown, which is a Japanese ship color. One of the many nice things about Mr. Color and Tamiya lacquers is the fact that they mix together with no issues. All sprayed 1:1 with Mr. Color leveling thinner. I’ll touch them up tomorrow and add the Fokker’s fuselage blue/gray using Xtracolor enamel Mi-24 Hind blue/gray. Looks as good as any match for this and the tin has been patiently waiting for over 30 years to get some use.

You're absolutely welcome. My comments were sincere and well deserved on your part.

I am going to remember your recommendations for the brown color, because it does seem to be a very good match for the Aviatic decal set to build a larger version of "The Seven Swabians", that I have for my WNW Fokker D7 that will eventually be a build journal for this group build.

My eyesight is not nearly what it used to be, so I have been migrating towards the larger scales, especially with biplane models.

I am so impressed with how your kits are turning out, that I had to pull the trigger on a 1/32 scale Roden Siemens Schuckert D-III kit #610. I just couldn't help myself. Your builds have been that inspirational to me, and I sincerely thank you for this. It's also a kit I don't have and I have been thinking about getting one for a while now. It's supposed to arrive on Friday.

In a perfect scenario I would be able to build it as part of our ever growing group. But time will tell if I can get to it or not.

Meanwhile, I commend you on your recent progress. You are on a roll...

Keep it going. These two are coming along nicely.
