here are some pics of my D.Va WW1 campaign, I have been given a promotion where I work, and its taking more time than I thought to get a system worked out there, so more time at work meaning I wont be able to finish on time... anywhoo this is the eduard kit that came with the pe, basically oob, but I did scratch build some stuff on the engine and in the cockpit. as the kit sits now, the fuse is together, the lower wing is on, and it has the first coat of paint added.
I added control wires to the stick and rudder pedals, misc. wires and such on the sidewalls of cockpit, some lines on the engine, and the lines for syncronization of machine guns through the prop







thanks for lookin'

That's a very nice Albie. Is it the Roden 1/72 kit, or something bigger?

Later,

Hi Bender :-)

Lovely job!! :-) I think you must be building Eduard's older DVa release, because it's interesting to see how many more things are photo-etched compared with the one I've been building.

I'm sorry to hear you don't think you can get it done on time for AoA - but she'll be a beauty when you finish her! :-) Keep us up to date with plenty of pics...

All the best
