I'm not much of a "wingy" guy Mark but it looks like you are doing a pretty good job so far........and yeah, the cockpit looks the "dogs". Keep it coming. :thumb2: Rick H.
 
Mark. Good looking office. I’m a big “Wingy” fan and I just bought one of these this week in 1/72 scale it’s the 1963 issue also love the Classics Kits

I'll follow some of your builds hopefully get some tips :thumb2:
 
This is a rebox of the Eduard Weekend model. You can get the Eduatd PE bits to really dress it up. Revell have reboxed several of the Eduard WWI 1/48 models, including the Sopwith Camel, Fokker Dr.I. Albatros D.III & Roland C.II, they don't seem to be produced in large numbers, and price compares favourably with the Eduard originals. They do appear at very good prices on ebay & pre-owned sites, well worth a look.

That does look like a nice kit, but then Dave points out, it's an Eduard.
Everything looks very nice. When I'm building a bi-plane, I find it easier to paint and decal the fuselage, wings etc all separately before the actual construction part. I know that sounds totally wrong, but it works for me.

I'm still a relative novice when it comes to model making so I haven't sussed out the best way to do anything yet,have got the underside of the wings painted now with no problem so a bit of masking and should be good to do the rest.

There isn't any one way, Mark - it's going to be the method that you are most comfortable with, after a few models you'll find it! With biplanes, I generally finish the fuselage, then paint the lower wing top surface, and the upper wing lower surface before adding the wings - I like to rig biplanes, and this reduces the amount of tricky painting. If, however, like the Fokker DVII, it's covered in lozenge decals, you have to wing it!

Hi Mark
Looks a nice kit and seems to have gone together well. I think these old biplanes make great models. Just the rigging thats difficult.
