Topside lozenge now on both planes. I’ll touch up a few spots after it dries thoroughly . I didn’t have a lot of faith that it would work on the SSW’s struts, but it went down just fine. Next up will be the guns, prop, and other details on the SSW. The finish line is in sight for that one.

They worked perfectly, John @j-healy
Even on those difficult they look amazing.

The propeller looks great, John @j-healy
A nice technique to create the lamination.

Laminated prop looks top notch @j-healy

Your prop looks awesome, John (@j-healy), as does the rest of the model. Biplanes are scary enough, but they are really scary in 1/48. Your finesse on these two kits is remarkable.

I got the Spandau guns finished before bed tonight. I annealed the jackets with a lighter to soften them up before rolling them around a drafting compass tip. I then attached them to the plastic breech/barrel parts with CA glue. I hope tp paint and install them tommorow. Unfortunately, modeling time will be limited this week. Hoping to finish this one by early next week.

I got some unexpected modeling time today due to the outer bands of Hurricane Francine putting a damper on outdoor activities here on the Gulf coast. I decided to spend it bringing the Fokker a little closer to the finish line. 45-50 year old Humbrol Authentics for the green/mauve painted areas and decals applied.

Isn’t that Aviattic lozenge a hoot? I love that stuff!
