Thank you Mark. Didn't find that one. Found old WW1 pictures on Wingnut wings site.

The workmanship in the pictures you put up is incredible.

Have painted the cowling. The middle wing has been glued in place and the metal work on the forward upper fuselage has been applied.

Working on mounting the guns . Have made up the cover for the fuel gauge (out of paper) . This sits between the guns.

Exhaust and carburetor inlet have been added .
Center section struts have been made using 1/16 brass tube squashed.

The left gun needs some more work. The cockpit will be left the way it is. The pilot figure I have ( Flea and DVIII) will cover most of it.

Cheers

Ok I've Finished the propeller. Applied the Axial decal over a dab of white paint.
The boss is a circle of plastic cut out using sharpened brass tube. Bolts are glue . Coat of primer and then gun metal colour.

The "half " Oberursal has been attached.

I agree. The laminations and markings on the blade are really well done.

I echo Paul's comments, great guns. The engine looks great as well.

Thank You Paul and Lou.

Have moulded some wet tissue around the forward cockpit for the padding. The rear coaming has been done with some wire.
The fuel gauge has been attached.
When I'm satisfied with the cockpit I'll start to put it together.

Picture to follow.

Cheers
