Hello all.
I'm starting to build another model.
The model is not the best quality, someone wants to return to the "archetype" modeling, this is a good opportunity ;D
For a start in box:

I'd like to do in the paint scheme of 2 Reconnaissance Polish Aviation Squadron.

It looks like you can build a pretty good version out of it, Jacek. The Instructions Booklet looks superb, a lesson from Wingnut Wings? Lots of detail, colour, and great looking photos. I'll follow your Build with interest, looks like another winner!
Cheers,
Lance

I agree with all Lance has said, especially the looking forward to your build with interest part!

Looking forward to you working your magic on this one as I have the German version in the stash. Will follow closely to learn. Instruction booklet looks great, but it is rather small compared to WnW (probably due to box size).
-
Excellent choice, Jacek! I built the German version (Brunhilde) a while back and really enjoyed it. I've had my eye on this Polish version for some time, but just haven't been able to bring myself to pull the trigger yet. Maybe your build will push me over the edge. At least with this scheme, you won't have all those fiddly lozenge rib tapes to contend with.
Cheers,
Bud
-
Whether you are returning to the ark with this kit or not I am certain that the finished model will be one which I will be drooling over in due course as you will have worked your magic all over it!

I started to work on the engine. (A better solution would be to buy resin Mercedes D.III)
Mercedes D.III from set after performing many components by yourself looks so:

Thank you all for interest in my workshop.
Next will be painting.

Amazing results on the engine Jacek. I find the ignition wires a challenge on 1:32 Scale Mercs, you have installed them beautifully in the smaller scale. Nice touch with the valve springs as well, this is really taking shape in spectacular fashion!
Cheers,
Lance
-
Simply awesome work on the engine details Jacek! Your additions have certainly made it a model in and of itself!
RAGIII
-
Magnificent work. Great detail packed in such a small space. Looking forward to next chapter.
-
Wow! Your engine looks fantastic, Jacek! I was lazy and used a Pavla engine on mine.
Cheers,
Bud
-
How cool to see you building thus kit! I have it in my stash (German Version) and until now I only had read positive reviews. Sad that you don't agree but now I can see quite clearly why you don't agree.
You made really a great engine out of the kit's parts and I am very curious to see how you do the rest. I'll follow this beautiful build closely!
Best wishes

Thank you for the words of comfort ;)

great job. quickly modeling. I greet Luke
PS. Come see my DFW.

That is a super engine Jacek. I cannot understand why you would want to buy a resin kit when you can already turn that into a little gem. This is a great log to follow - most interesting.

I like your engine. I told you yesterday. A lot of work have any engine. Łukasz
-
Truly great work on the engine, Jacek. Looks very, very good.
-
Excellent work on the engine Jacek!
I too built the German version a few years ago, and found the instructions a little small, although very comprehensive! I actually never finished the model completely as I didn't add a few of the peripheral bits but the airframe was complete.
I put the lozenge decals and rib tapes on to kill time whilst on a 36+ hour train trip between Kansas City and LA, but that's another story and not for this thread!
Looking forward to the rest of the build, I seem to remember the kit was quite good quality with loads of PE..
-
Jacek, don't sell yourself short. Your effort rivals (actually looks better knowing what you did to it) the resin engine. Looking forward to your progress.
-
Fantastic start. I do like the instruction pamphlet. Very comprehensive and almost WNW standard
-
good start, great job!

The detail in this kit is remarkable - and you really are making the best of it.

-
Looks really good. It is a pleasure to watch how accurate you are working.
Bye,manni
-
I thought I had commented on this yesterday but It looks as though I am mistaken. So, Beautiful details and work on the fuel tank!
RAGIII
-
you truly did a great job on your kit engine and fuel tank jacek. although i agree that there are some small shape issues with the mirage engine parts. in the post above you show a photo of a resin engine. what manufacturer does that resin engine. i dont remember seeing this before. it looks like a nice basis for a a great model of a160hp mercedes d.iii.

Engine in the picture is a manufacture, http://www.smallstuffmodels.com/2014/08/72110.html
I'm sorry but the have only in 1/72 scale.

I wish my "not so great" kits looked this clean on the sprues! That engine work is really outstanding!

Wonderful work Jacek! Thanks for sharing :)

Extremely well done interior! This one is looking terrific!
RAGIII

I owe you double thanks, for sharing the beautiful work and giving great tips having the same kit stored for a future build.
Cheers, Giuseppe.
-
The interior is stunning. In a way it seems a shame to close the fuselage
-
Really almost a shame to close that up -but at least we know it's there :)

Thank you. I update my work as far as possible.

I am wondering why I have missed that thread??
Once this one is close to go for her I would keep an eye on your progress.
Good work!

I missed this as well! Jacek your build is awesome so far!
I have the same Mirage kit, but it's the one with the red nose on the boxart, so I am very interested in following you, beside the pleasure to watch such an impressive work!

Stunning work on your kit. Looking forward to your progress.

Just discovered this project, I will follow because I have a CL.II also in my stash.
Great work, the shadows on the wings are fantastic, but I would not use the same technique on both sides (may be next time ...)

Really coming together nicely now, Jacek. The "Pale Stone" is a beautiful portrayal of the fabric sections, I may try it in future. Great construction and beautiful paint work are hard to beat! 8)
