Your Morane is a real Stunner Lance. Outstanding in every detail! I Love the chipping and staining!

Outstanding Lance! That is a superb model and you have really made a winner there.
I wish Special Hobby would do more WW1 aircraft subjects.

I have commented in the build log Lance, but I am still awed by this build. The chipping, oil stains, colour of the fabric, specific small internal and external details all shout real quality build. In short another mini-masterpiece.

   Thank you all for the very nice comments, they are very much appreciated! I wanted to add that this Kit was sent to me by Special Hobby for the "In Box" Review I did on it previously at:

https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=11512.0

   As is to be expected I discovered it had a lot of good qualities not apparent until I actually built the Kit. Like Dave I'd be pleased to see Special Hobby offer more Kits of WW.I subjects.Bottom line, a very decent Kit and please support Special Hobby as they support our Forum!
Cheers,
Lance

Wow Lance, what a nice Bullet!
I build two of this birds in 1/48, but I must admit you really nailed it! Yours is looking very real in many aspects.
Very interesting details are the mount of the windscreen, the double rigging line around the "wing spars", the rib tapes, .....

That is a very nice addition to your collection!

Cheers,
Frank

   Thanks so very much, all of you! My confidence level was very low on this one as, despite the Refs showing heavy wear on most, I thought I might have overdone that. I'm also having a hell of a time with arthritis in the hands/fingers and it's starting to effect results. I Guess it beats the alternative so I'll stop the bitching there!
   Dave, I'm taking another break and going for a change in pace with an Off Topic "Yellow Wings" era Grumman F3F3. I'll be opening a Build log in Under Construction shortly. It's the 1962 Monogram release, a real trip dowm memory lane and should be a lot of fun!
Cheers,
Lance

Great work Lance, well done! I do like your subtle approach to the chipping and shading. I've taken some weathering inspiration from you (I'm very slowly working on the Eduard 1/48 version - there's just something nifty about the lines of the Bullet!).

Cheers!

Wow Lance - that really turned out well indeed. I'm very impressed with every aspect of it. I'm very sorry to hear that you are impeded with some arthritis in your hands. It certainly didn't stop you from producing a top-class model here. Good luck with the Grumman. I love your "between the wars" biplanes. I'm sure your "flying barrel" will be another winner.
Cheers,
Gary
