The stays are from the top of the front cabaines sloping forward to attach on the upper longeron just aft of the bump over the engine cyls. I was under the impression that it was wood over steel. It could just as well or better be steel ends to a wooden strut.

They don't like to mix with other brands of acrylic and that's how I mix colours even more-so since I discovered Ceramcoat. I think the base that Tamiya use is a different substance from most other brands. I can mix pollyscale, Ceramcoat and liquitex with no problems. But Tamiya mixed with anything but tamiya seems to just create a mess. Nice paints but I'm sticking with my Ceramcoat,Pollyscale and Liquitex. Has anyone tried using future to thin acrylic paint btw.

Anyone out there with suggestions? As far as my progress, the Green tail turned out great. Airbrushed insignia red over the whole thing and then used the super scale green decal to cover all but the edges. No bleed through from the red. I keep having to think through the rigging every time singe I use drilland thread....gotta put that chore aside until my mind is a little clearer.

This has been my base CDL colour for the last few years its a creamy white. I add small amounts of the following Ceramcoat bridgeport grey, Antique white and some pale yellow. One flaw to this is I forgot to make enough up once to finish a model. So after rigging it. I didn't have enough to cover where I had drilled the rigging holes and filled in after the rigging. You should have heard the language when I was trying to match the shade.

But they're only in 1/72nd scale. We did a piece in Internet Modeler October 1999 that showed a Fokker D.VII built with each of the 4 Rosepart conversions. They are resin and of the highest quality.

You'll be seeing mine sooner than that 'cause I just finished rigging it, and later I'll touch it up and tomorrow I'll shoot pics of it. The problems of fit with the kit are aided with brass pins - indeed the wing too. And you have to thin the crap out of the cockpit sidewalls. The forward pin is hidden forward of the resin ammo box thingie. I used a stub and a lightly drilled divot for the rear pin.Epoxied the wings on and rigged it. The wires do add alot of the strength to the structure. And the grey fly-tying thread looks purty good too!
