Today I've prepared the 4 colours lozenges and blue ribs from Doug Baumann (made .pdf with long bands of lozenges and one with the ribs). Then I tried to print the lozenges on clear decal sheet paper - a disaster! Maybe my printer is too old (HP930); maybe the decal sheet paper I received from a friend is too old or not for inkjet printers...
So OK, my D.VII is actually placed in reserve; next month I will buy laser decal sheets...

Last minute works on "white stag" comprised of attachment of rest of strings, then the landing gear assembly. Here I remembered that I might add shock absorbers of simple thread - this should be done before the landing gear wing was attached to the rest :-think, this way I made complicated operation out of it :-wall (seen on pic)...

Small details were left for the end - lifting handles made of wire, PE leg support (Part gives two pieces, only port side is needed), a little touch-up of paint where needed...

...and here it is, finished! :-jump :-love

Comments welcome! :-wave

Absolutely beautiful, Profa. I'm learning much from you folks about these early machines and the final product is inspiring.

After two days' break, I continued this evening with "winged sword": first pic shows it after 3 layers of blue, where everything seems just right. Next was paint of first red layer... oh, this would require more than 3 to properly cover the surface :-think
While at it, I separated from the sprue all the struts. As mentioned earlier, one interplane strut was already broken, so I had to be extremely careful cleaning the others. 45 minutes later, all are flesh-free and ready for paint... The mentioned strut broke at another point, so it was 3-piece affair :-wall

Waiting for red to dry and glue to set (I broke N-strut...yet again :-wall :-wall), I tried to take some detail pictures of finished "white stag" - guns, undercarriage and tail cables. Hope you like it...
