    John and Spiros, thanks for following the build , I have found this kit to be in the "expert class" and I am no expert, but for all that it is finally looking like a Halberstadt biplane, but missing the detail finer points.

    The wings are on and the rigging complete. The model is as good as finished, just a few small decals to apply. So here it is folks in all its errors and mistakes. It was a problem build for me, more competent modellers may find it a challenge worth building . The templates supplied were handy for the job they were designed for , the wing mounting jigs supplied was a great idea and so the top wing was a breeze to fit.

    I know how difficult this kit is to build and I must say you did a great job with it. It looks really good and I like it a lot. I'm rooting for more similar builds.

    Hey Ian @firelockg, despite the challenges this kit has thrown at you, this is a superb outcome, especially given the scale and the unique paint job required on a Halb.

    Outstanding outcome after a bumpy ride - rel skill on show!

    Milan,
    It was a very testing kit to build, I think I got away with it.
    Paul,
    I am happy with the outcome , but I think I shall stick to 1/32 in future.
    Spiros,
    Certainly a challenging kit, thanks for the encouragement.
    John,

    Tom,
    Thanks , it was a victory in the end. Lots of luck with your build of this kit Tom, all I can recommend is proceed slowly with caution.
