Hello
Rick: this is indeed a fantastic build and your build log served me so much in doing my tripe. Thank you again!
Des, Ernie, Rick, Nigel, Bud and Lance : Thank you for your much to kind words. My problem is that I manage to assemble and paint the plane rather well, but then I start to ruine it by inserting the eyelets, the glue is all over the place, and my eyes can't nearly see the holes I drilled in the wings. That's my frustration although not really an excuse. Besides I'm not very good in obtaining the right colors, I know hardly anything about engines and planes. I'm really at the bottom of the ladder in that way. I'm really obsessed by WW1, reading everything I can, official histories and others, writing small articles about "famous" battle fields. I'm living very near these places and I am constantly reminded of what was going on 100 years ago, being so near these fields. So I came to the fighting aircraft and this has become a very dominant object in my life.
Thank you all for your kindness!
I know I'm far away from this thread and all my excuses for that. This said all my congratulations for you all who managed to build such wonderfull tripes. And Bud my friend I know yours will be a real beauty.
Kind regards
Patrick
