That’s phenomenal. Excellent paintwork and rigging.
Looking at this build makes me speechless, David @mentaldental
So much details, superb scheme and a great diorama with those airmen.
Well done.
Jaw-dropping. Really remarkable craftsmanship and artistry.
I've attached a photo taken by my grandfather of what is almost certainly a Caudron in flight over a church.
1 attached image. Click to enlarge.
Excellent to see a photo of one in flight …😉
Unique bird, and beautiful craftsmanship as always. I experience vertigo looking at all that rigging...
Absolutely perfect. A joy to watch.
Work of art, all aspects!
Obviously the work of a Master Modeller, the rigging alone would be a nightmare. The detail is a joy to observe, well done.
Utterly brilliant
Wow, that's a masterpiece of workmanship!
David, @mentaldental, you are one of my favorite builders on this site, and I would say one of the premier talents on the site. This is a beautiful build and my hat is off to anyone who tackles all that rigging. That sure is a lot of parasitic drag on the airframe. I love the build and the paint, it is a great scheme. You totally nailed this one as usual!
A premier result, indeed, David!
Fabulous model. You have been training your spiders well.
