Rigging is finished ! As well as touch ups and weathering . Having issues with the prop though , to me it looks way over scale as being too thick and thinking about using the spare from the Strutter project .

Hi Terri – What a beauty you've created – Congratulations on (almost) finishing her. I'm sure you'll sort the propissue to you liking
I really think you'll do well in the competition with this one!

Thank-you Stephen and mikael for the comments ! Very kind of you both
I will have pic's up on Friday , should have this prop thing sorted out by then .....
So far there is some really cool builds already finished , but it doesn't matter to me whether I place or not . Had a lot fun with this build and more then pleased with the out come
Comparing this to the Fokker Dr.1 , this was a good size aircraft , man that Fokker is tiny ! Now I will have to build the Copper State Model kit of the Pfalz Dr.1 and see how this one fairs up

Wonderful work, skillful recoveries to along the way. I was just admiring your handiwork when I saw something I'd missed on my 1/32nd effort... rudder cable exit points, I've just sprayed the CDL too...on well..time for bodging I guess.

Thanks Keith , I missed a riiging line on the landing gear . I guess this would be an opps !
She is now finished ! I went with the kit after all even though that to me it doesn't look right . But I'm happy with the end results .

You did a fantastic job on this Terri. I do agree the propeller looks to large though. The weathering you accomplished looks just right, and the rigging looks very scale and clean. Good luck on the contest.

Thanks Carl for the kind comment , I went with the kit prop after all . When drilling the hole bigger in the spare one I pick out . I ended up going all the way through taking out the prop boss
