HotWaffle Posted April 9, 2020 Author Share Posted April 9, 2020 (edited) 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... Edited April 9, 2020 by HotWaffle MikeMaben, BiggTim, Landrotten Highlander and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotWaffle Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 And much masking was had by all... The decals lifted slightly under a test mask so I ended up using paper to cover the decals: The result: Onto the oils MikeMaben, LSP_Kevin, 109 and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HotWaffle Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 I've finally got to my favorite part: Oil weathering! This is the first of many passes with the oils. I tend to add a little bit each day until I'm satisfied. KiwiZac, Bobs Buckles, 109 and 8 others 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

HotWaffle Posted May 4, 2020 Author Share Posted May 4, 2020 More oils added. I'll be adding a litte bit more of the starboard side before sealing it all in and starting final construction.

HotWaffle Posted May 9, 2020 Author Share Posted May 9, 2020 Struts are on Ive started making the stand for propping up the back of the airplane.
