Afternoon all,
I had a weak moment and ordered the D.VII, the HGW seatbelts & the Wood & Wire Lozenge for the wings and fuselage..
It's your fault - all this talk of lozenge on the forum - I just couldn't resist having a bash at it! (that and it was Hannants last one in stock which tipped the balance
).
I've still got the Snipe to finish and I don't want to rush it - so this will be on the back burner for a week or two, but I really can't wait to get this one started!
The Wood and Wire sets are STUNNING! They make the WNW lozenge look like a cartoon effort (sorry WNW). I got the impression from reading your comments that the Aviattic are the best, but I went for these as they're ready cut and I wanted to keep the whole thing as simple as I could as its my first lozenge effort. But I just can't see how these could be bettered - completely exceeded my expectations..
I'm planning on this colour scheme - but it will require a glaze on the fuselage which could be interesting to recreate with a filter.. There's a photo of this one in the instructions with a single spoked wheel - I don't suppose anyone's got a spare one knocking about that they'd sell me? I can't quite stretch to the $107 dollars for a full set!
I'm going to need some help on this one during the build...
Thanks for looking.
Guy
