Eduard Roland - First WW1 build
« on: March 29, 2015, 05:56:49 PM »
Hi guys.

Brand new to the forum. Usually a WW2 modeller but bitten by the 14-18 bug. Here are a couple of shots of my first tentative attempts.

I lost the tiny wind screen to the carpet unfortunately..

Super job. For a first attempt at a biplane that is really excellent modelling. Do build some more and show us.

Nice first build Ade.
But be warned, bugs can spread and quickly turn into an epidemic.
