Note scratchbuilt anemometer.
I used the Pegasus German Naval Lozenge sheet for this model. It is a beautiful decal set and very easy to work with, showing none of the excessively raised panel chip overlap lines that marked some of their earlier lozenge (especially 5-color) sheets. Bravo, Pegasus. Speaking of decals, I think I have finally figured out how to work with Propagteam decals, which are notoriously stubborn when it comes to placement adjustment after initial surface contact. The trick is to use a plant mister and give your surface a good schpritz. This will afford you vital extra seconds to adjust the setting of the decal before that Propagteam industrial strength decal glue kicks in.
Note accurately beefed-up engine (radiator pipe, pressure valve, piston valve levers), CAD scratch compass face and windscreen, and scratch tachometer behind the engine.
One MAJOR problem (among several others) with this kit is that the fuselage, out of the box, is nearly one scale foot too narrow top-to-bottom in the vicinity of the wing root. After carefully checking Rimell (Windsock Data File 55), I undertook the arduous task of building an entirely new fuselage bottom. I did this by running beams of plastic at several points along the fuselage length, shaving them down where needed to coincide with Rimell's figures (and compensating for the 1mm thickness of the bottom planking I'd be using), then laid on the planking, slathered resin putty into all the empty spaces, then enjoyed several hours of happy sanding.
Note forward field-of-fire cutout in windscreen. Fuselage interior graining is my usual colored pencil and clear orange/smoke "varnish" method.
Note Parabellum details and scratch wireless dynamo generator.
The anemometer was built using four Grandt Line round bolt heads for the brass cup spinner/propeller deal on the top and a spare etching parts dial.
Note exhaust staining, rust and heat discoloration on engine piping.
