    Hi everyone!

    Starting a family long weekend yesterday, at our small holiday house in Limni Evias...

    ...I decided to take my. Academy 1/32 kit with me... ...with some basic mission tools and consumables inside 😁... Here are the kit contents, not overly detailed but still a nice, solid one... ...Added some styrene strips to the sidewalls, to give a faint impression of framing... ...and here is what I did last night, mostly after kids went to bed... ...and all back in the box, nice and neat 😁... Will be finished as Charles Nungesser's famous bird, depicted in the boxart above.

    So, this is my (first) entry to our friend's @lgardner wonderful Great War GB.

    More to come!

    You got lots of work done while on your short vacation, Spiros (@fiveten). I don't think I would have gotten nearly as much done if I was looking at that view of the sea.

    You cannot keep a good modeller down, not even on holiday Spiros, be interesting to see how this bird turns out.

    Thanks a lot, my friend @gblair! True, the view is so nice I can only model after kids going to bed 😊

    Incredible ! I am working on this exact same kit. I suspect that you will have yours completed way before I do mine... πŸ˜‰

    What a beautiful view to see from your holiday house. It's nice to have some nice quality time with the family too.

    Thank you for starting this one as an addition to our ever growing group. I am looking forward to seeing your next installment.

    I'm watching and keeping my fingers crossed for you Spiros. I have already built and if I can advise, it is necessary to adjust the engine cover and add seams.

    Thanks a lot, my friend @milantesar!
    Thanks for the advise, I will definitely use your build as a guide (though, definitely, my build will be far worse than yours).
