Rudy PoseikaWow, the rigging is amazing. I just tried rigging for a biplane and quickly gave up... Not enough tension, glue splotches on the wings etc...

Mike VolkovThank you guys! 🤗
Rudy, I used synthetic hair for the rigging, very little CA is enough.

Łukasz GlińskiExquisite job! Respect for the rigging 👍
Can you share how did you achieve that stracciatella effect on the engine?

Mike VolkovThank you!
@Łukasz, I sprayed AK Xtreme metallic paint on the metal cladding. I tried to imitate the texture of the surface with a diluted oil paint and sponge in greyish black.

Michael KohlFor some weird reason I have a soft spot for the E.III. Nice to see such a well done one. The characteristic casting(?) marks on the cowling look pretty good. That's the part I haven't found a convincing technique for me yet - neither in 1:72 nor in 1:32.
Well done.

bughunterNice Eindecker, especially in this little scale 👍 A type which is missing in my collection.
@Michael That are no casting marks. The hood was made of sheet aluminum and the surface was polished resulted in this worm pattern.
Do you know the WingnutWing hint about this?

Michael KohlThanks Frank for pointing it out. I have kit and thus the tip as well but to paint it convincingly especially in a small scale is quite a challenge.

Mike VolkovThank you for your praises! 🤗
The small scale does pose challenges. But if you finish some 144 models, the 72 will be much easier. 😄
