Antb Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Hi folks Having never built a WW1 aircraft before I was very generously donated this kit at one of our club nights. The mojo was flagging and this was something to get stuck into. Thoroughly enjoyed building this one and I can definitely see more WW1 in the future. Comments very welcome 32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harold55 Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 This looks wonderful! The Red on the cowling looks great weathered and darkened and the lozenge came out perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Dyck Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 As Harold said. It turns out beautiful, I can only repeat. And your little tabletop is absolutely convincing. The dog seems to be hungry 😋. As every dog every time on this planet. 😂 Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertie McBoatface Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Yes, do more of them, you clearly have a talent for WWI. Rigging is really fine, what did you use please? Figures, in 1/48 are very special. The lozenges, are they really transfers? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viking Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Lovely little build, the base sets it off perfectly. Cheers John 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lozenge pattern is decals. The wing sections come as one piece bit bit rib strips are separate. Took some serious setting solutions to get them to go down and even then they lifted at the edges. Had to resort to tamiya extra thin to get them to settle at the edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spitfire31 Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Not too bad for a first Great War effort. 😉 Very convincing build and finish, and the machine really comes to life thanks to the excellent figures. Mucho impressed! Kind regards, Joachim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epeeman Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Great job - even more when you consider this is your first WW1 type. Regards Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use uschi van der rosten rigging. Fine I think. I'll double check the thickness tomorrow when I have access to my modelling kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murewa Posted October 31, 2021 Share Posted October 31, 2021 Amazing! Pattern decals look amazing, had to read the responses to know they were decals. Love the figure too and base too. 👏👏👏👏 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
