Movin' forward


I am bound and determined to finish the Fokker DVIII as fast as I can.  Yesterday and today was able to get a few things done. 

I spray painted the wheels neutral gray as that it the tire color.  The wheel cover is Lozenge camouflage – so just put the decal on and I done with the wheels.  

I put the first coat of white on the rudder.  I found that white paint works best when sprayed on over several sessions.  I also sprayed the prop with Vallejo wood.  Eduard has supplied a dark wood decal.  I am going to try an experiment and use the decal to represent those dark strip portions of prop (I have not found a hand paint them that I like).  Then spray Future over it and use oil paints to blend together (and hope it doesn’t mess up the decal).  

Lastly, I am working on scraping the seams off all of the struts.  I really hate the grunt work.
