Thank you!

Just a bothering thing, but I was prepared to that: Blue Rider decals always provokes a little silvering, even between two varnish sprays... See the thistle and the serial number. Not too visible, but annoying...

Thank you Sall!

I have begun the weathering with pastels and ink.

I used Tamiya pastels for the locations where the pilot and mechanics manipulate the aircraft. Not really visible on the photos, but well on the kit ;)

The ink: Citadel Colors Brown Ink. Used for the "pissing oil"... Some photos show that the Fokker D.VII was a big oil consumer, and that oil pissed on the fuselage. I applied drops of ink, than I used Q-tip to expend the oil... I like the final result, that gives life to that aircraft.

Weathering to be continued...

I have also placed the exhaust pipe and the machineguns.

Yes mate, but I have time for that. I'm not so far from completion, but other workbenches will have priority and will start this week: the tiny MiG-21 and the not-so-tiny MiG-29 ;)

Weathering is finished I think... I've used black aequous pencil, and MiG pigments (dark mud)

Very good! Nice attention to detail adding the mud splatters from the wheels to the lower wing :-ok
