Excellent work, Sir!

Congratulations are in order, both for the finished item, and for the selection of a subject. The Middle East campaigns proved much more important than many thought at the time....

HEllo OM:

Outstanding work on this conversion/scratchbuilt DH1.  I like your history facts that you include with your models.  It adds interest and explains why you built it.

Thanks for sharing this.

Best

Thanks again gentlemen for the kind remarks, which I value very highly. It is a privilege to receive such complements from such a fine group of modellers who regularly post on this forum.

Tom1981: I am seriously considering attempting my hand at a kit next - the Pegasus 1/72 Etrich Taube. I have a vacuform one too but as I have never tackled a vacuform before I do not like the idea of starting on one of these, so it will probably be the Pegasus kit, warts and all. A German tractor monoplane should provide a good change of focus.

Please excuse my late reply but I am so glad I popped in to look at this model. You have done a superb job recreating this very important aeroplane, your build was a joy to follow and now looking at the completed model has proven that you are an excellent modeler. The finish on your model is extremely well done and the rigging is great, congratulations and well done LM.

A Taube would be very nice, one of my favourites.
