I have not said my last word with that aircraft... I will try to make my own lozenge decals (those of Doug Baumann). Will try on inkjet decal paper; if not satisfied, next month I will buy laser decal paper...

Never surrender! ;)

Sweet! A very nice deco, really an original one and a splendid build!

...Well, after the problems encountered with the Microsculpt lozenges on my D.VII, I think I will not use the Streaky camo decals but better use a paintbrush...

Liquid CA glue But for very small parts (those you need for a microscope), I first use Klir or gloss varnish! That helps top lace correctly the mini-part Then, once dry, I put a mini-drop of cyano

Hi mate,
Don't have seen any new link - just the older one. I can watch the 102 pages magazine but cannot save it...

Well... Thinking and thinking again at that problem, I've decided not to wait until wednesday. The parts were dropped in methanol. I've removed decals and paint. Now I have to choose another decoration... Will take some days for that.

Profa, I really have no regret at all  ;)

Thank you Profa for your kind words, but there is bubbles under the lozenge and the ribs; if you try to remove them, you make holes and have to repare... and that creates bubbles in other locations! It's disappointing. And I don't like to continue in a way that is not satisfying for me.
I just come back from my workbench: not decided yet but clearly, I have the envy to remove those decals. Perheaps not for an Eduard deco; but for an all khaki unarmed Belgian D.VII... I keep my decision in instances until wednesday (the weather will be more clement; actually impossible to work in the workbench...).
Oh, and to have to restart a deco is not a problem, but in such a case the good solution ;)

I've removed the ribs of the ailerons.

But well, I'm really bothered with those decals that are fragile (Microsculpt) and breakable (Americal): the dythirambic comments on the drome sounds me not correct at all...
I'm really envisaging to REMOVE ALL those lozenges and ribs and to make a version provided by Eduard, with Eduard decals! Not decided yet, but...

Nice correction, Profa!

ribs are also present on the chord of the wings, ailerons (see my first photo here)...
Huh, few ideas for your rib problem: for the chord of the wings I'd use appropriate paint - just use middle part of the paintbrush and go lightly.
I wouldn't use rib tapes for ailerons (and I didn't), 'cause these usually weren't covered :-think Maybe Eduard was wrong on this (they tend to have that problem sometimes...)

Good idea forthe painting. And thanks for the precision, for the ailerons. I will try to find some photos of the Belgian airplane I wish to make, to see if there are ribs around the ailerons or not for that particular aircraft...
