1) The lozenge appears to be essentially the same as the 1/48 (which I also
have). Looks like the whole sheet is just scaled down. Is this pattern
correct in colors?
2) The wing looks pretty darn smooth. Did the D.VIII have a smooth plywood
wing, or should I be preparing to work some ribbing and texturing in there?
3) The color naming on the instructions being fairly sparse, what should I
paint the interior, presuming that I use the lozenge decals? In this, I
mean the structure, as well as the fuselage sides. (Note: in the 1/72
pressing, I noticed that Eduard has etched the cockpit in either stainless
steel, or nickel. Either way, it is not brass.)
Once I know the answers to these, I might actually start. I was about to
start the Sopwith Baby, but would rather do this. I really want to do a more
complete kit as my first WWI effort, so I have avoided the Revell D.VII or
Airfix Roland C.II, since their simpler design would draw the AMS beast out
of me, and I'd never get them done. The D.VIII, I can do mostly OOB, save for
rigging.
