I did this before a few years ago and couldn't resist doing her again for the Romsey Modeller's St Georges competition. My first one, delighted to come 2nd out of the 18 on show.

What a great build!  Nice work!
I shall never forget my admiration for that German pilot, who single handed, fought seven of us for ten minutes. I saw him go into a fairly steep dive and so I continued to watch, and then saw the triplane hit the ground and disappear into a thousand fragments...James McCudden

   Very, VERY nicely done Dave. No "same old" PC10 in evidence on this Thread! ;)

Terrific, Dave!

The finish, particularly evident in the tail shot, looks very convincing to me.  A beauty.

Blimey! God Save the Queen! Makes me proud to be British....even though it's been 350+ years since we came across The Pond.

Oh Yes! That's the business. Very nice paintwork again. Congratulations for the competition result too.
I'm still not done with the WNW Pup either and can feel the urge to do another 'fancy scheme'.

Cheers,

PS. What is the grass matting base you have there?

It's Polak meadow grass as a mat. The website is still up but I can't find anymore to buy. Anyone have a source?

That's a really good 'stand out from the crowd' colour scheme, Dave.

Excellent work

What an eye-catcher! Congratulations on the prize too - just wish I could do something like that in God's Own Scale.
