Watching with interest - I have some closeups of the one from Technischen Museum in case you need some 😏

Thx Guy, Bozo & Robert for watching. @ Bozo - had a good weekend with some spare time 🙂, usually I am slow.
@Cuajete - a very carefully observer you are- 😉 It is not there with indent (ironically to avoid to break it during glueing, sanding, painting,....)
@Thomas - that would be great - (I already recognized that the Austrian bird had a observation/bubble window, which I did not build in) - to you have a good picture from rear view?

Naram
ahhh another slow mate! take your time, I absolutely do not know this plane. I take a sit !

I checked the pics I have but unfortunately I don´t have a shot from behind. The observation window is barely visible on another shot, but the one you have in your album is similar to mine. I guess you have to ask Dr. google - maybe you can find some pics there

Welcome Naram & Michael.
Thank you Thomas for your feedback and for checking your picctures. I did of course use the www - I guess it is a good enough basis for some detailing work on the exterior, even when there is not much material to be found of the OE-BVM. But ok....
Thx & cheers 👍

Paint hangar activities.--- still not finished, but the bird is already getting more colorful.

Kenneth
Fantastic craftsmanship 👍 Not that it will detract much, if at all, but when I look at the Perspex part on the cockpit in the second photo it seems that (unusual for a Dove) all of it, except for the lump on top and wind screen and side window frames, is transparent and not painted, including the upper surfaces?

Thomas Kolb
That orange turned out real nice - slightly faded. Cool little aircraft!

Juergen Klinglhuber kirjailija
Thank you Kenneth and Thomas.
And - WOW. Nice catch Kenneth. I don't know how many times I looked at those pictures without taking note of this. Mmh. need to think about this fact now. Not sure if this can be "salvaged" in a good way.
