Hi Lance,
I've been following your build with great interest as I have this model in my stash.
As usual a educating and masterful build,

I can only repeat myself, this sheme is wonderful and you painted it brilliantly.

As usual Lance your model looks wonderful. As for the (very) minor blemishes to which you refer, I am sure that a blind man would like to see them. The colour scheme is very eye catching and the prop is truly first class. Looking forward to seeing this finished.

Lance this is a stunner! From the wonderful paint work to the beautifully carved prop and subtle weathering this a real showstopper. It's going to look great in your cabinet.

Great result, Lance.  The paint chipping and the prop look especially good.

Lance, you are really getting me in trouble with this beautiful model! I only have one Halberstadt Cl.II kit, and it should get the flamed red nose. If I look at the pictures further, I will have to buy a second kit to build this color scheme as well.
Yours is really, really nice!

Cheers,
Frank

   Thanks very much Frank, and I know yours will be a great success as well as a second one if you take the plunge!
    Well, after an off and on process I am finally finished this one. Several interruptions and over 8 months after starting she's finally done!



   I'll post the final photos in Completed Models shortly. A very nice Kit and mostly enjoyable Build with my usual added  "warts and scrapes". Thanks for following along and for all the encouragement and positive comments!
Cheers,
Lance
