Aviatik Berg D.I by Marek Repaint by Matt77

I finally got hold of this kit and it prints up as pretty in person as the photos of the model. I've been on a roll cutting, bending and gluing for a few days now. I'm kinda coming up for air before starting to rig this plane.


This is a fine model of the Berg in any case, however Matt77's repaint takes it up another whole order of magnitude. I printed on glossy photo paper and sprayed that well with Krylon clear gloss. For some of the more fiddly little parts, I reprinted the sheet on typing paper, also given the Krylon treatment.


It was printed as "fit to page" and the software said 92%. I have had zero fit issues, so I will count my lucky stars and not say bad things about my cheapie HP printer.


This has been a very enjoyable build to this point and I hope to finish up in a few days.
