Some more updates, getting there! : Rigging done, wood parts and the engine done and attached, white paint applied with (now grey) pre-shading, future coat and lots of bits and pieces yet to be done, but the end is in sight!

Stephen, Your work continues to amaze me! ![Bow [bow]](/emoticons/icon_smile_bow.gif) Being that halloween is my favorite holiday of the year, and the fact that I like WWI planes, I really enjoyed the photos of your diorama. Thanks for sharing! Daywalker, I have an Eduard DH-2 weekend edition kit on its way to me, and I will need to have it built by the end of the year. I will add that as a second kit for this build, as there is a new finish date.

Well, that Nieuport 17 is finally done: From this (above) angle, things look pretty good. Can you see the slight misplacement of the tail decal in this one? I was *really* impressed with Eduard's decals but had serious trouble on the tail, which ripped slightly on the starboard side and was misplaced slightly on the port. Otherwise, most of them look literally painted on--splendid. (Below) Finally, a closeup of the cockpit. I couldn't get a decent angle to show interior details but here at least I get to show off the drilled out details on the seat and my first serious attempt at oil-painted woodgrain.

Greetings all; Here is the long awaited radiator. I can see some flaws that I will have to go back and fix but now that it is all together I can risk it. Bits and pieces on the left.
Note to Part of Poland. Next time just do it as 1 piece and we can go in and twist the shutters open or leave them closed.

Continuing with the cockpit of the 1/32 Roden Fok.D.VI. Keeping to the perameters of my build, I had to use the kit parts and or PE made for the kit. The floorings is designed in both cases to match the Fokker Dr.I side walls and not the extended fuselage Fok. D.VI. The problem is that the control column has to be located specifically. so the flooring has to be in a specific place to do this. The compass winds up under the seat so it has to be relocated to a spot near the pilot's right side leading edge of the seat.

The result is as good as I hoped for. I still have to set the rear of the gun breeches in two upright supports and the fuselage cross bracings that hold them.
Note the repair I'll have to finish to the decal on the spine.

The seat is nearly completed. The depth was added to the seat to represent the parachute pack and next to touch up the edge of the seat back.
Now the Spandau guns are to be dry fitted to the upper cowling deck.
