Deperdussin 1911 Lindberg 1/48

Hello,
I`ve decided to show you some of my older models, so here`s the first one. The kit is well known oldie goldie. I mus admit I really enjoyed building it. There is a lot of things that have been replaced and altered...
I thought this one would be a rather quick build but it turned out to be something longer for my standards...
My model depicts or is rather inspired by the Deperdussin from Oslo Teknisk Museum.
I`m aware that there are plenty of errors and flaws in my build, but I`m relatively happy with the result.

Gorgeous build. Not knowing anything about this plane, I cannot spot any of the errors you mentioned. Please post pictures of the Demoiselle you showed beside the Deperdussin. Is it scratch built or is there a kit? Must be tiny.

 

Cheers,

Wlad

A beautiful model.  Just looking at all those turn buckles has brought me out in a cold sweat!  Amazing work.  It's also good to see an aircraft from the pioneering age which hasn't been that well represented by kit manufacturers.

That is a wonderful buil Xmald. The attention to detail is remarkable, and very aspirational.  Looking at this little delicate thing it is remarkable that in just 4 years the Fokker Eindecker was fighting over the western front with a synchronised machine gun.
