Hello everybody,
I know that this is a bit O.T., because the title of the forum is "WW2aircraft", but I hope you will pardon me for this deviation.
During Summer I started the very nice kit mentioned in the title, here some photos of what has been done so far:

My previous experience with oils, used to paint figurines, helped me a lot to try to replicate the wood grain, I hope you like it.

Some more will follow soon.

When I saw the wood grain I thought " that guy paints miniatures " :D

Really nice work...
 
Good stuff Alberto and thanks for dropping in again. Those Wingnut kits are really nice and you are certainly doing it justice. Looking forward to seeing more.
 
Hello,
I did a little step forward: added some details to the Daimler - Mercedes D.III 180 hp engine:

for the spark-plugs cabling I used a material new to me "wire for fishing flies". I decided to use a yellow-orange as shown on a rebuilt aircraft, but they could also be black.

I also decided (almost) the final appearance: it will be one of these:

The big challenge will be to apply the lozenge camou decals, will see ...
