The canvas with the lozenge pattern looks amazing... right down to the stitching! Fabulous detailing! 👍

Rui S
I agree, loking great all arround👍

Mathieu
Thanks gentlemen. Last update can not be fully appreciated on this platform but I think it is rather cool (see the link below) current progress is on the wings as I am in a stall on the fuselage waiting for the resin pilot figure lagging in the postal services.

Spanjaard
looking very nice

Sebastian Meyner
Absolutely stunning work so far 👍

Slavo Hazucha
wow - what will come next - puffs of smoke and mini-loudspeakers?😉

The engine really is a piece of art, with the data-sheets and wear... hope it does not stay hidden behind the cowling permanently! 👍

Mathieu
Welcome Spanjaard Sebastian & Slavo 🙂 I much appreciate your comments.
About the engine, yes the side panel should not be glued, I still have to work out a solution for this part.

Point of no return has been reached with the scheme main decals dipped. Wish me luck.. Cheers

Rafael Berlin

Brandon H
Magnificent details! Great weathering too

Mathieu,
Just looking over your build...really nice work. My thing is 1/32 scale WWI, so always looking for inspiration. One questions however...what is (what looks like) a switch and wiring on image #33 and #35? Thx...Cecil

Antoine Meylan
Quel modèle magnifique. Félicitation Mathieu!

Mathieu
Hi cecil, i have to say I have a growing interest for ww1 aviation, and more builds are to come from this era in the future.
To answer your question, the switch is routed to a Cr123 battery hidden in the fuel tank image #12 and is powering a new kind of mercedes engine seen in image #1.
The whole thing is visible in action a few comments above (youtube video linked)

@Antoine, thanks very much sir ! Very kind of you !

Robin (WhiteGlint)
Stunning work, Mathieu 👍

cecil
Matthieu
Very cool! Did you buy this as an add-on kit or just build it from scratch? Thx…Cecil

bughunter
The paint job is great again 👍
And of course some more WWI too!

Mathieu
@Robin, @Bughunter : Thank you mates ! your kind words are very appreciated. More ww1 is a fact, there is a lot of wingnut food in the stash waiting their turn.

@cecil, I buy the element separately in chinese electronic sellers on ebay. It's way cheaper than one dedicated add on set you would buy in modeling shops (eg: 0.58€ for a dc motor). Downside is the long shipping delay.
Cheers

May I have a seat.

cecil
Thx...I may give it a shot on one of my new builds 🙂
