Matt 77
I didn't want to hijack Bob's Berg thread, so I started this one to show you some photos. This is the 1/48 Eduard kit built 15+ years ago. I crash molded the Baby Coffin cover from the solid kit piece out of 5 thou card and then cut out solid piece and added the gun and other details.
Making the cover out of paper would be way easier and guns and such details are common on paper card models. Just tossing an idea out there.
I will be happy to buy and build any version of the Starstrutter you put out. I have the Flying Machines Press book on the HB D.I. PM me if you need any references from it.
Cover in place.

Thanks smperry for your suggestion.
My drawing is proceeding quickly.
Unfortunately, this plane is poorly documented.
Furthermore, the changes and variations introduced in the fields of flight are numerous and at the discretion of the individual aviators or mechanics.
Therefore I have to opt for that single aircraft.

That looks wonderful Marco! Even though you lack documentation, it will be a beautiful kit. ;D Does anyone on the forum have any information to share?
There are several of us out here on the forum who will be lined up for the finished kit. Very nice! ;D
Best regards,
Bob

I have the Flying Machine Press book on the Starstrutter. Happy to lend it. Send me a PM. I can't wait to see this kit ready to go. A Brumowski Distribution camo on the wings would be a neat option. I also have the Arizona Models kit for RC, very detailed plans, (except for part of the Stabilizer which my wife's pet goat ate).

Marco! Take my money, please!!!!! ::)
That will be a really neat machine when done. Congrats on what is done so far...Dan

I am coloring three models of the HB D.I. the 28.10, the 28.15 and the HB wit the alpine amulet.
28.15 (Linke Craford) is ready.

That looks fabulous Marco! I am very excited by this kit. Will it by 1/33 full size? If I can download a copy whenever it's ready, it will go to the top of my build list, as soon as I clear up what's on my work bench in a couple of weeks.
Thanks for doing Linke-Crawford's aircraft. I am building a mini-theme collection of aircraft of the Austro-Hungarian aces, so this will fit right in. I also just received a 1/32 Linke-Crawford figure from a company in Eastern Europe, so this would be a very timely kit! Thank you for doing this one. ;D
Best regards,
Bob

That is a lovely looking kit. The repaint looks fantastic. I love the Starstrutter and can't wait to build one out of paper. Please tell me where and how I can get the file. The repaints Matt77 does are simply the best available out there. They are a real challenge as they are so good that I push myself to do the best job of assembly I can to be worthy of the artwork. All the best positive connotations of the word challenge.

sp, I don't think that this one is a repaint. I believe Marco is CAD designing this model from the ground up, so to speak. His painting is wonderful though! I especially love the CDL wings with ribs/spars and Maltese crosses ghost-imaging through. The CDL looks perfect. This is amazing artwork. Way to go Marco! ;D
Best,
Bob

Oops, sorry about that. I can't wait until this one comes on the market. The guys who can design and paint these things amaze me. I am a complete klutz with a computer, so I have nothing but the greatest respect for what they do.

Great, Marco!
I can't wait to have it
excellent as ever

Hey folks.
I designed the Phönix logo on the rudder of the s.n.28.10. but, reading on the texts dedicated to the HB D.I, it is possible that it is the Albatros logo.
You know something about it?
p.s.: Thanks to all for the compliments

sp, I plan to make this model available for free to the faithful of this forum.
For a form of collaboration I need testers of my models, in order to make changes to the mistakes inevitably made in the design phase.

You have yourself a test builder here. I will be happy to do a test build of your Starstrutter kit. I would start as soon as I have a file to print.

Marco...
Be still my aching heart! I CAN'T WAIT!
Thanks so much for making these lovely models available. I'm in line for any and all test builds!
Cheers,
Dan ;) :D

s.n. 28.10 was Phönix, so you are right

here is the cockpit and another nice and clean example

Thanks, Marco!! Your models used to be available for purchase on ecardmodels, but they haven't been available during the long time it was down ... or now, for that matter. A talent like yours deserves to be rewarded.

I agree with Gene. Happy to pay the going rate for a copy of the file. Worth every, (insert local currency name). Only right your great work is rewarded.

Awesome work on repaint very realistic!

Looking in on this one too, Marco. Really looking forward to this kit. Take care.
Best regards,

Looks like we lost Marco ... again.

Anyone know what happened to Marco? Hope he is well.

Hi Gene...
I think Marco is around. Just a busy time with lots of distractions. Maybe we should make one of his re-paints and he'd be tempted!! ::) ;)
