Fairey IIID, scratch, 1/48

[JohnHaa]

Dear Modellers,

 

This time again something british with a dutch flavor.

 

The Fairey III was a well known type and also used by the dutch navy.

 

Here is the story:   https://kw.jonkerweb.net/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=654&catid=87&Itemid=492&lang=en

 

I like this kind of aircraft only there are but a few models in 1/48. I build mine in scratch

with plasticsheet and wood for the nose and floats.

The rigging is stretched sprue.

 

I hope you like the pictures. Enjoy !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With greetings,

Since the well-earned superlatives have already been hijacked in this thread, I'll shamelessly resue them:

 

Beautiful, stunning, fantastic and amazing model!

 

And all that perfectionist built-in headwind…

 

Colour me impressed!

 

Kind regards,
