Thanks a lot Terri. I don't know which decals I'll go with yet. Posting my pictures was a big deal - had a hard time getting them to show up on the forum.

Mark,
LOL I was rather puzzled by the actual female remark when I first read it.But then I read the BattleAxe Fokker D.VII thread over at the Aerodrome and Terri's comment the the light came on.I may a little slow sometime but I can always appreciate someones sence of humor.
Regards,
Gregory Jouette
Mark



Gregory: I couldn't resist after her comments about the checks and mountains

Ben, the interior is really looking good. This is a great kit.



Please don't get it going over here. . .There will be no list of body parts being check here! Terri don't do it! Stop halt and desist!!

LOL Stephen but I think your comment to Terri could very well be a double dog dare as we used to say as kids. Take care my friend.

Hi Ron and welcome.

Your progress so far is looking very good, you captured the wood grain extremely well. Hope to see more progress photos soon, keep up the good work.

Guilty, Guilty, Guilty

Been away from MPLS for better part of 10 years now.



:-H Small world isn't it? Mpls is the same place you left, only worse. The club has changed a lot too. A lot of the same faces, but much more new.
Looking forward to seeing some of your work here.

Cheers

Ron,

The cockpit wood grain looks very nice. We're always looking for differing wood grain techniques here. Will you tell us how you did it?

Here's the painted fuselage.

I don't have a clue on how to separate or apply the rib tapes decals. Can someone please explain this to me. Thanks. Ron

The rib tape decals are decals and applied the same as the rest. They go over the ribs on the wings.

So apply the lozenge decals to the wings. When they are dry, apply the rib tapes on top the lozenge where the ribs are. You can check out the other LVG builds hanging around here. Or, if you need a more detailed explanatiion, I can go into greater detail.

The fuselage looks real nice.

Thank you very much Carl - So I'll cut each individual rib tape decal,soak it, and apply it. That really sounds like an intricate and painstaking job; but I'll give it my best shot. Ron
