1/32 WNW Pfalz D.IIIa

I've begun shading the rib tapes. The underside tapes will be slightly darker and the upper side tapes slightly lighter.

I started by masking the top wing undersides (sorry for the out-of-focusness):

After a light coat of tamiya smoke:

The effect is very light, as I like all of my shading to be very subtle. Onto the rest of the wings...

Do you have a source for your ribbed piping?

 

The 'ribbed piping' are the drive cables for the gun synchronisation system, running from the gearbox on the camshaft to the trigger motors on the bottom of the lMG/08s. This is the Zentralsteuerung system. This is the same system on a DR.I with an Oberursel:

It makes positioning the guns in the airframe a whole lot easier than with some other gears!
