   As I said on your last entry in Under Construction Rick, superb! Crisp, clean, skillfully finished and fitting illustrations of your considerable talents.
   Is the D.VII Group Build next??

Lovely pair of models!  In the "Are they models or are they real" category.  Love what you did with the weathering on the underside of the Snipe.

Inspiring work, Rick!  It is tough to pick a favourite from the two so I will
call it a draw.  If I could come close to your excellence, I would be some 
pleased.  Well done, my friend!

Both are real beauties Rick but after having just competed a German aircraft model, I find that I'm particularly drawn to your Snipe. She doesn't have the graceful lines or colour that your Albatros exhibits, but there's just something about what you've done with her that draws my attention. Could it be that engine oil blow-back I wonder?  ;) Well done on both!

Cheers,

Chris

Hello, Rick -

Superb work on both models, but my favorite out of the two is your Albatros DV - the fuselage wood tone just looks spot on to me.

Well done, mate!

Chris, you have become a fantastic WW1 modeler in a very short time frame! I really appreciate the comments. Like you, I have a preference for the Snipe build! That oil staining was blatantly stolen from someone else's  build of a Snipe or Pup, old age prevents me from remembering whose build it was a month or two ago, or maybe it is the Beer  :-X

Nicely done Rick.

Some of the others have mentioned the wood colour on the Albatros, I like it too. Pretty much how I would picture an Albatros. Love the Snipe too.
And congrats on being modeller of the month.

Hello Rick,

Two extremely nice and wonderful builded models. I couldn't say which one I like most. Both have been so nice to see come together and have particular highlights. Thank you for the tremendous build log. No wonder you are "Modeller of the month" and so well deserved. Many congratulations my friend!

Kind regards,
