Dave,
Looks great! Love the wood grain. I've used the Misterkit decals on my Grigorovich M-5 and really liked them. They speed things up. It's nice to see all of the different ways of painting the wood grain, all with unique results.

I got this kit for Christmas from my girlfriend.
Somebody out there was paying attention. I think she is a keeper.
Build is looking great so far. On the decals, be sure you use some white glue in the decal water to help them stick. I was going to use them on my build, but didn't like the repitition of the woodgrain. It seemed out of scale and would repeat to often in each panel. I did use some with a different grain in the interior. They looked all right.

Hi everybody,
just a slight update, I have put the LVG to the side for a short while as I have been finishing off some commission figures for a couple of people, but I also want to move onto another aircraft and come back to the LVG when I am more confident with the lozenge decals, so I will open another thread on the WNW RNAS Pup that I ordered, I do have a couple of WNW Albatros to do as well, but the pup first I think, I will use it as a confidence builder........

I really think you have the skills to do the lozenge. It isn't difficult, just time consuming. But I look forward to your Pup and Albies.
