RAF FE2b Aeroclub 1/48 "Zanzibar"
« on: December 06, 2015, 06:56:16 AM »
Hello,
Not the easiest one I must admit. There even was a time when I was considering to put it into a closet unfinished.
Now I`m glad that thanks to OEFFAG 153, who sold me the model I was able to build it. I fell in love with this plane in the meantime...

You have done a brilliant job with this model Filip, it could easily be mistaken for a larger scale with the amount of detail you have gone to. The rigging has turned out excellent and the colours you used are superb, very well done.

Ok, I give up! I think I'll take up basket weaving. :o

That is impressive! How in the h#%* did you do all that rigging in 1/48??

Utterly magnificent, Filip!  In any scale, this would be considered a masterpiece, but in 1/72 scale...well, I have no words.  I love it.
Cheers,
Bud

I'm very glad you didn't put it away. It's a joy to behold and the rigging is  a real labour of love. Well done.

having rigged one of these in 1/72 scale I know something of what you have been through. I am delighted that the closet has lost out (hope it is not too upset) - that is a simply superb model and as has been commented, a winner and no mistake.

I fell in love with tis machine when I was a teenager - just had to wait about 40+ years before I got my model of one!
