    Hi all,
    The basic fuselage and lower wings assembled.
    The two 'Spandau' machine guns and associated kit parts were replaced with slightly modified 'Gaspatch' weapons.
    Still a lot of detail and weathering to do before full construction can start,

    Hi all,
    I got carried away on the build and forgot to post later updates.
    Apart from fitting the propeller the basic aircraft is finished.
    I still have the figures and display base to do so still a bit to go yet,

    Speechless, Mike @sandbagger
    Even without the propellor fitted it looks amazing.
    Looking forward to see it on the base.

    Wow, this is an amazing result, Mike @sandbagger
    So much detail, not only on the aircraft but also the crew.
    Beautiful paintwork and weathering.
