Sure, you can, sorry for delay with the answer

and video on my channel, please watch it ))

Some more detailed photos

The model is COMPLETED

- for machine gun cowls I used old Fotocut PE kit - made a preshading for bottom sides - bottom sides were painted with light blue, covered with Future and decals were applied. Also I used Gaspatch resin anchor points and turnbuckles, I wish I knew that they are very fragile. I had to buy the metal ones instead. I spent more than a week for simple rigging... To be continued...

propeller is ready, to paint it I used a Radome as base colour, added masks and covered with Red brown, after removing masks used oil paint to have a wooden effect on the lighter layer. Finally propeller was covered with Future

as I said you can barely see this error, but I wanted to be honest, that's why I told that ;-)

masks were removed I really like the result, it's very bright and very small amount of red overspray, that I easily fixed However, only after removing masks, I realized that my paint job was not correct :-( There should be 7 white stripes on the fuselage and I have only 6, also stripes are not even and not every stripe is parallel... Any way, I decided to leave as is, because a) I just do not want to repaint it, b) I do not have a lot of white paint left, and this will take some time to order a new one, c) only some experts can notice a mistake. I think, if I didn't tell you about it, you wouldn't notice ;-) to be continued...

lolly pop painting part: - I used Tamiya 6mm masking tape and placed 2 stripes to make a one 12mm stripe - put additional layer in between, just to prevent any overspray - and covered all upper wings and fuselage with red color

you can watch a new video about a cockpit build on my channel

Thank you, I didn't know about that, it's a good reference for future builds, will not change for this one because the engine is already inside the fuselage - I covered model with primer - made stripes from Tamiya masking tape only on the bottom sides of wings - painted all model in white next step - is masking for the red lolly-pop stripes

I also completed a video about the engine build

- ignition wires were painted in yellow, also I glued wires to ignition box - here are photos of completed engine

Next step is engine: -I decided to remove plastic spark plugs and cut 0.5mm diameter medical needles in small pieces, drilled holes and glued them - after added copper wires - also removed plastic springs - and made springs using copper wire, cut it into 12 small springs - made ignition wires to new spark plugs - painted the whole engine in black - masked cylinders and painted bottom in aluminium

After oil paints dried i covered model with layer of Future -on the left side put magneto and starter also painted seat and other fuselage elements, gas tank with brass and ammo box - steel To be continued...

Here is the time for new project, on my Youtube channel subscribers voted for this model as my next project. And to be honest Albatros D.III is one of my favorite planes. I found very few information about the prototype and pilot Windsock also says that colors could be white/red or white/black, I prefer to have white and red stripes, bottom side of wings will be light blue. I decided to start build from cockpit, painted inside parts in Mr.Hobby Radome as base, after using oil paints made a wood effect

Yeah, you need to finish that Dridecker))

Hope you will enjoy the model

Sure, I just wanted to post pictures today. Here you are...

Thank you guys, the model is already completed But I will not post pictures until my last video will be presented on my channel)))
