Title: Des Tribute GB Halberstadt COMPLETED
Post by: Gisbod on February 20, 2019, 10:02:27 PM
Not sure if you want these posted here Dave? Please move it if you have a GB Completed Models section planned.

But.. my Des tribute build is done - before the start deadline! I probably ought to rustle up another entry.

Thanks for those following along in the progress section  :) I’ve still to add the wing compass decal - enroute from Canada as we speak - many thanks to Terri for that.

Lovely build, but a few issues - cowlings a bit tight, and decals were a disaster! But she looks ok in the pics I reckon.

Anyway, see what you think...

Great, great, great. I like your Halberstadt very much. You raised the bar very high with that camo. And any issues with decals are hard to spot... Congratulations!

Wonderful. I really love her, don’t know what to praise most. And one of the fastest builds I had ever the joy to follow. Are you sleeping at night?
Best regards

What the others have written - simply super and a wonderful tribute from one master modeller to another. The finish is simply unique!

Excellent under every aspect, but what Ilike the most is camouflage. Very well done.

Impressive speed and quality!
In the same time you have done the whole project I wasn't able to finish a almost reada one, simply unbelievable.

The camo painting is very interesting, well done.

Cheers,
Frank

Exceptionally well done especially the camo effect , no doubt now as to how to render the splatter!

Absolutely amazing work, Guy. I'll be studying these pictures a lot. You've just convinced me to obtain this model. Congratulations on an stunning build. I couldn't be more impressed. I actually saw this on FaceBook and had to nip over here to get a better look.
Cheers,
Gary

Thank you all,

But I think you’re being over generous! ;D

The camo really is a lot easier than it looks...

She's truly stunning, Guy!  And you finished her in heart stopping speed!  Very, very impressive, my friend!  I think you're being overly modest.  That camo can't be as easy as you say.  So many ways it could go south, yet you pulled it off spectacularly.  Now you've got me itchin' to start mine.
Cheers,
Bud

Outstanding Guy, I wish I had just a fraction of your talent and speed, in the time you have produced this beautiful build I have barely scratched the surface of my ongoing build ( box lid off, parts and instructions located and read, reference material gathered and that's it  :o), truly amazing and thank you for all the handy hints.
