Wow very nice. I think I discern some very fine representation of the nails on the fuselage body. What did you use to make them? Can't wait for the final assembly. Cheers

Mathieu,
I actually traced the contours using craft paper, then scanned it into Photoshop (note: I should add some images of this). Using the contour feature (not sure if this is the exact term) in Photoshop, I then created the pattern in the same brown colour used for the cockpit and created my own decal. It worked fairly well, but in hindsight I would have cut the decals a little wider since they were so thin that I had a hard time making them adhere to the fuselage. Lots of fun!

Amazing! Did you find your home made lozenge decals easy to work with?

...lots to learn? Well looking at your very nice model I guess you start learning from a high level on. Well done.

Thanks guys. I'm also using it on my exhaust for my RE8 Harry Tate…it's my "go to" technique at this point 🙂

I am converting the WNW Albatros D.V "Wooden Wonders" to the Ludwig Weber (Lulu) version.
I'm trying some new (to me) techniques including (i) using the HGW Decal set (#532008) for the fuselage wood grain and (ii) using photoshop to create the lozenges for the wing and tail.
