sandbagger Posted January 5, 2020 Author Share Posted January 5, 2020 Hi all, The upper wing has now been fitted. Now it's onto completing the rigging for the flying, landing and cross brace wires. After that it'll be the propeller and wheels and that's it, apart from the display base, Mike Kagemusha, Trak-Tor, monthebiff and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally airbrushed with 'Alclad' semi-matte lacquer (312) with a few drops of 'Tamiya' Hull Red (XF9). Bosses painted with 'Mr. Colour' Stainless Steel (213).

Out2gtcha Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Man, that prop looks wonderful. I love the PP props, but really like the fact that you made it your own with some quick and well placed additions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandbagger Posted January 7, 2020 Author Share Posted January 7, 2020 Hi all, The Aviatik 'Berg' D.1 is now complete, apart from being mounted on its display base (once the case arrives). Below are a few rough shots of the model and figure on its intended grass mat ('Polak’ Wild Meadow - 4705). I'll post up more and better completed photographs once its mounted in its display case. Many thanks to everyone for your comments, encouragement and patience during this build. Now it's back onto the Italian Macchi M.5 seaplane.
