    Very cool and well done paint work Mike (@sandbagger). These old German fighters have some of the coolest paint schemes.

    Hi all,
    The basic fuselage is complete.
    For this particular aircraft, I've added:

    Modified 'Gaspatch' machine guns.
    Centrally suspended central gun sight (above the machine guns).
    Gun sight viewing hole in the windscreen.
    Altimeter in left side of cockpit.
    Rear view mirror.
    Flare pistol on its mounting.
    Flare rack.
    Kit supplied engine exhaust pipe hollowed out.

    Now it's onto weathering the fuselage,

    ​Hi all,
    the Upper wing and fuselage have been pre-rigged.
    The upper wing now fitted.
    Even the elastic bands are colour matched 😄

    Next it's final rigging,

    That interior looks like you could jump in and fly away, Mike @sandbagger. Nice job.
