Hi all,
I've started a build of a Halberstadt Cl.II in 1:32nd scale.
However, I posted the work so far in my blog instead of here!

Hi all,As the build of the Fokker E.IV...

Hi all,
The wings and tail unit have got their lozenge decals.
‘Aviattic’ Halberstadt Cl.II 5 colour lozenge upper surfaces (ATT32196),
‘Aviattic’ Halberstadt Cl.II 5 colour lozenge lower surfaces (ATT32199),
‘Aviattic’ Halberstadt Cl.II 5 colour lozenge tail surfaces (ATT32205),
‘Aviattic’ Halberstadt Cl.II 5 colour fuselage stipple surfaces (ATT32209).
Applied on a white gloss base coat then coated with 'Alclad' Flat (ALC314).
Weathered with 'Flory Models' Dark Dirt fine clay wash.
Finally coated with 'Alclad' Light Sheen (ALC311).

Now onto pre-rigging before assembly,

Looking really superb, my friend @sandbagger!

Quite interesting that the fabric is added at an angle Mike.

Hi all,
Finished preparing the various parts of the model.
The ‘Grantenwerfer’ bomb rack is from another model kit, although I've added the back board so it can be attached to the side of the fuselage.
The flare ammunition rack is also from that kit, but I made the flare cartridges from painted 0.5 mm diameter styrene rod.
The tyres and inner wheel covers for this model are the new 3D printed resin wheels ('Continental' 76x100) from 'Proper Plane'.
The outer wheel covers will be the kit supplied parts.

Now it's onto pre-rigging before assembly,

Very nice progress, Mike @sandbagger
Especially that bom rack looks amazing, hard to believe it was used that way.

Hi John,
Yes the rack for carrying the ‘Grantenwerfer 16’ grenades looks strange, but that's how it was,

Great rigging work, Mike @sandbagger
A weired rack indeed, I thought at first it had to be the other way around.
