Looks great, David, surviving pilots? There can’t be too many of those.
Those that made it into the 1960's and 70s were interviewed. Bruno Schmaeling has various books and has huge amount of documentation.
Exquisite.
Fine execution of build/finish. Attention to and completion of even the tiniest details is remarkable.
Great WWI finish my friend. Great ditails.
@mentaldental - Incredible work David. The rigging detail is fantastic as is the wood grain on the prop. Very nice work!
Superb David. Enough said 👍
Superb job, David!
Fantastic work David
Awesome model as usual David @mentaldental
I am always amazed by the quality of all your WnW models here. Is that lozenge from HGW?
Aviattic
Truly amazing, David @mentaldental
A very impressive result, the rigging, the weathering, everything is just perfect.
Well done.
Wow! Beautifully done!
Another @mentaldental masterpiece.
Truly super work Dave (@mentaldental). Such an attractive little plane. And I really love how well you did all the detailing. That exhaust looks really good as does the rigging. Many of the fabric areas really look the part.
Super job David, really liked the looks of the detailed engine as well as the rigging.
Another Gem!
Excellent job, the WNW kits are good kits . You definitely did this one justice. 👏
Outstanding work - a real beauty!
Always some seriously superb work. I wish my stringbags would look like yours.
You never disappoint, David - beautiful work!
