I "invented" this kind of doing canopies many, many years ago, I do not see that anybody do this in that way but I did I think more than 10 models canopies using this method. It is good method, however need some precision and patience indeed. Regards J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbadbadge Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Hi Jerzy, sorry I have just caught up, what great work they all look fantastic, what wonderful work. The MB looks very graceful and is the favourite of the models with the unusual Potez a very close 2nd. I am in awe of you scratch builders and wish I could scratch build. Fantastic work.

All the best Chris Chris, many thanks! There is no other way with scratch builds then just start practicing! Out of mine scratch works maybe the most original are still KB 11 Fazan Caproni 309 Dh Dragonfly and more than 20 others... So just start Regards J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadbadge Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Awesome Jerzy, I have bookmarked your Dragonfly thread to read through as I get time as I am after a Dragonfly and have a wanted thread for one on here. Thanks. All the best Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
