Holy Cow, Des...

Don't know what to say that hasn't been said already.  A real treat.

And I don't think WNW will be coming out with one soon 

A true Tor "Des" Force.  (I'm so clever... )

Thanks for sharing and maintaining this great site.

I would like to thank all those who left very kind comments and to all those who took the time to look at my build. As i said earlier, this is not my last scratch build, I am now in the first stages of my next build, a scratch built 1:32 scale Jeannin-Taube. I now have 1:32 scale plans and will start construction very soon, this particular plane had the 100hp Mercedes D.1 engine, once work starts I will start a new build log.

Many thanks everyone for all your support throughout my Voisin build and also for all your support for the forum.

Des,
      I'll be really interested in how you go about doing the half covered
part of the wings. I have a Caudron G3 in CAD right now and I'm pondering
about how to go about it.

Thanks Jim for your interest, like I said, I am only at the plan stage and have not looked into the building of the Taube yet, I will be spending the next few days studying the plans to see what I am up against. It will be a fairly large model, I didn't realise the Taube was such a big aeroplane, the 1:32 scale wing span is 433mm which is just shy of the Voisin wing span, and the length will be, from prop hub to tail, 302mm, so she will be a fair lump of a model.

Hi Des
There is a very good reference book on the restoration of the Jeannin Taube now in the Berlin Technical Museum which would be useful for your build. It is in German but is well illustrated. "Die Jeannin-Stahltaube A.180/14: Aus den Anfangen der Fliegerei in Johannisthal (Zeugen der Luftfahrtgeschichte)" I have a copy from when I built the Luedemann resin kit in 1/72 scale. If you would like to borrow the book send me a message with your address and I will mail it to you.
Cheers
James

Excellent James, thank you very much, I have sent you a PM with my details.

I see you've been bitten by the scratchbuild bug Des.
