Aviatik 30.40 Alliance Models 1/48

Thank you for the pointer to my model, but if one don't have the machines for the metal work then your model is a good guide to follow for a nice final result!

Cheers,

I too have just found this. You have made an excellent model of a type which is hardly known. Very interesting indeed and I agree that the turned aluminium effect is very convincing.

Another one coming late to this post! I'm glad I did though, what an inspiring piece of work. 

 

Cheers

Nice find. I don't think they come up too often.

It's a lovely little kit but it does benefit from an extra bit of work.  Frank @Bughunter has done a more recent build than mine and is well worth checking out. He made a much better job of the metal panels on his by using actual aluminium and he also spotted a couple of details that I missed on mine. You can find his build HERE or his more detailed work in progress over on the WW1 Aircraft modellers forum HERE, again well worth a read.

 

Sorry - only just saw this! Thanks for the nice reply and pointer to Frank's!

Really good looking build.  The camo is quite interesting and your engine turned cowling effect is very convincing.  I wonder why they went to the effort of a low-vis paint scheme then put a big shiny aluminum cowling on it?

Looks terrific. Good effort on the brushed aluminium cowling.

Awesome work.

Actually i have never heard about this aircraft ( and this kit ) before and now there are two of them here in the RFI section.
