DFW T.28 Floh is available

Progress

Looking forward to "paint" all those nails :banghead:.

It starts to look like something, but I ran into some problems with the band around the fuselage.

Still a long way to so, but I thought you might like to see some teasers already.

Thanks for the nice words and the "cheat sheets". (I had received the one for the lower wings via Mike Wilson as well, but didn't open my private e-mail until this morning :redf:).

Actully I did spend quite some time to align the pattern from the lozenge and ailerons, until I realised that it isn't very realistic to expect that the people bothered to get the pattern in line on items which were most likely produced seperately :banghead: .

Weather is awful here, so I think I can hit quite some nails in the plywood today :costumes:. But I'm afraid there is too much to do so it won't be ready this weekend.
I also have to make a choice whether I will use the earlier "Maltezer Kreuz" markings or the later "straight" crosses.

No problem Huub....just as a bit of research I can pass on about the lozenge, the wing lozenge should run Chordwise,(front to rear), and the aileron was applied spanwise,left to right). The patterns never matched just as you thought.:d:ernae:

Cheers

While you work on the FSX version I continue with this project. I just slammed 629 nails and rivets in the fuselage this evening :costumes:

That's looking great Huub.
Looking forward to it.
Re all the nails etc, I think that building aircraft of this era was a bit like building fine antique furniture but on a much larger scale.
I wonder how many nails and rivets there were in something like a Zepplin Staaken R plane!
 
Herr Baron, just picked it up....will load it out this evening ! Looks like an interesting aircraft !

Huub, the repaint looks great !
