Tiny parts,great job! ;)

I'm using Bison cyano glue; little drops placed with a toothpick...
The parts are effectively very tiny, and as today my hands was a little bit shaking, I preferred to work on some painting on the Albatros D.XI...

Good progress today. I made holes in the guns, glued the wings, and assembled the wings with the fuselage.

I've used mr Surfacer as a security.

I'm really impressed by the excellent quality of that kit...

The last parts that will be used are removed from sprue. I have scratchbuilded a part; the one Eduard is providing in photoetch being too flat.
I've also tried to use the template proposed by Eduard for the wheel bays, but the result I've obtained was not satisfying enough; so I slightly modified the plastic parts.
The machineguns are ready; I Have not used all the PE elements. I can use little PE parts, but some here needed a microscope to be manipulated. Too much for me...  :-eek :-dal
I know my limits!!!  :-green :-green :-green :-help
