I think all is working again now. Please leave a comment on a photo somewhere if something you need is not working still.

I’ve also covered and doped the wings, ailerons, rudder, upper and lower elevators and upper horizontal stabilizer. Using EZ-Dope, I found that a 2:1 Dope to Water mixture worked best for applying and sealing the tissue. Thin enough to apply and work without globs, but thick enough to stick the tissue and fill in the pores. It still took between five and seven coats to get them completely sealed though.

Evan my cat Chuck got into the act. She usually doesn’t care about this stuff, but I guess today, curiosity got the best of her!

The bottom. I left a section open where the wing spars pass through the fuse. I'll fill that in during assembly.

I’ve been busy over the last couple of weeks working on the Hannover. I 3D modeled and printed the cockpit combing. I used my FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) printer with ABS plastic, instead of my DLP printer that I used for the interior parts. The FDM printer only has a resolution of 300 microns instead of 50, but for something as big as the combing, the high resolution isn’t as important. Plus the ABS is much more flexible and sandable, which is important since there are slight imperfections in the fuse I was able to accommodate by flexing the combing. I printed it in four parts, glued them together, sanded and filled as needed. Since this is ABS plasitc, I can use standard plastic model glues and fillers. The combing is attached to the previously sheeted fuse using thin and thick CA and kicker. Once set, I used Lightweight spackling to fill and sand.

Looking forward: This the observers station. The long focus camera is mounted with the lens looking through a access hole in the floor. The radio is on the left. On the upper right is a box that holds film cartridge. Each cartridge has six film plates that cycle through as each picture is taken.

Engine isn't mounted yet. I still have a little more firewall detail to add. Gray box on the left is the ammo box. The Spandau Machine gun will mount above and to the left.

Cockpit and observer sections of aircraft mostly complete. Most interior parts where 3D printed. however, the seat belts where done with sheet polystyrene and 22 gauge wire. All wood was stained with oak stain with a mat clear over the top. The camera frame and bracing above the pilots seat was created with soldered copper tubing. Parts where hand painted, then given a coat wash to age them.
