Mateusz Z Posted November 13, 2018 Share Posted November 13, 2018 Hello, I have a pleasure to present a collection of planes from the period of the fights for Polish independence, made by the participants of the Modeling Studio MDK Świdnica, that is Jakub Gotfried, Arkadiusz Walerowicz, Mateusz Zapotoczny, Szymon Mazur and Mateusz Grzelak. All models are made of Eduard's sets with various additions in the form of decals, machine guns or turnbuckles in a 1:48 scale. The collection was made in connection with the celebrations of the 100th anniversary of Poland's independence, and the work on it took a year. As you can see, it is composed of machines used on both sides during World War I, because immediately after the war Poland needed every plane, tank or rifle in order to hold its independence. I hope you will enjoy these models Photo of the collection with authors: Collection in museum: Fokker E.V, 183/18, captain pilot Stefana Bastyr, 7th Air Escadrille, Lwów 1919 Fokker D.VII (Alb), 502/18, personal aircraft of the commander of III Dyonu, cpt. pil.

Harold55 Posted November 14, 2018 Share Posted November 14, 2018 Congratulations on the 100th anniversary of Poland's independence! Very beautiful and well done collection. I appreciate most of all the research that was required to get these right. How did you do the wing fabric pattern on the Albatros D.III (Org), it is amazing.
