Matt, The Cowl was not finished just plain metal.

I'll tag along on this thread.

While trying to explain to my son why I had so many models yet to be
finished (that is, "in progress") I came across an Eduard F.I I forgot
that I started.

Since everyone like to finish their F.Is in either Richtofen's or Voss'
colors, I'm thinking along the lines of finishing this one as the first
F.I.  I've seen a picture of it on "trestles" (or "saw horses", if
you're a hillbilly ;-) ) but if memory serves, the top wing wasn't on.

What is the consensus of the finish of this F.I?  Probably the olive
streaking over blue, but I'm thinking the cowl wasn't painted.  Yes?

I have no idea when I'll finish this - just like I have no idea when
I'll finish any model.

Have the glaciers moved anymore? ;-)
