An equally excellent scheme, my friend @sandbagger! Pity the original decals did not work, but your new chosen scheme will be great!

Hi all,
An update on the Hannover build.
The fuselage has been closed up.
Fuselage, wings and tailplanes have had their panels and fittings etc painted.
Pilots Spandau machine gun fitted as well as the nose cowl and some of the engine access panels (others will be left off).
Still some work to be done before weathering then preparing and applying the decals.

Hi all,
A representation of the carburettor control fitted.
As there's no reference for the Argus As.III engine, I've based it on similar engines of the period,

This looks amazing, Mike @sandbagger
I think you have the correct approach to follow similar engines. It was even in that time often a copy/paste approach.

Looks amazing, my friend @sandbagger!

Hi all,
Assembly has moved forwards and the 'Aviattic' Linen Weave effect decals applied where required.
The relevant kit decals have been applied also.

Added the carburettor fuel supply pipe.
Now it's onto applying the weather and pre-rigging before final assembly,

Superb so far, my friend @sandbagger!

The linnen effect looks very good, Mike @sandbagger
Nice thoughts at that time to have two horizontal stabilizers on the tail.

Now it's onto pre-rigging,
