No geomety fixes. All the bugs here: the fuselage is too narrow, the engine hood is too rough, the "V" of the lower wing is too small. It's the same model of 1957 year. Moreover, I added several new (the machinegun frame, the elevator bellcranck on the port side etc.)
Several minor bugs were fixed, although.
So, here's the photoetched machine guns, cockpit interior, windshield, undercarriage w/wheels etc.
This model is not for exhibition - only for fun, so I think it's enough.
Hanno Kleinecke Nice work on these WW1 iconic birds, not an easy job I would say. Is that a template that you used for the lower half of the wings
on the D VII ?

P J Thanks gents. Hanno: they are decals for the underside of the wings. The decals need trimming, they are oversized, and I used a little paint under any loose edges to 'glue' them down. It's quite time consuming to paint in the colours, but strangely therapeutic! I think it will look great with the second coat and a matt varnish to seal everything.

Hanno Kleinecke Yes, amongst others, that´s what makes this hobby so recreative, it sometimes almost gets me in an
meditational state... I´m curious on the finals of these " Knights of the air" 🙂

P J I'm going to rename the album 'Knights of the Air' – I started with two biplanes but somehow a couple of triplanes a monoplane have crept in...!
