Post by: Paulvanacker on November 29, 2021, 08:22:15 PM: Hello all,
A big thank you for the awesome welcome replies from my first post a few days ago.
I've just started into WW1 gear this last year ad have alot to learn... things like turnbuckles in my rigging etc. Getting there.
For now, here's my Roden BE-2.
Thank you for looking.

I made this same Roden kit a few years back in the same scheme. Yours is better :)

Thanks for sharing your work. We really need this aircraft in 1/32 scale too.

cheers

And speaking of turnbuckles, surely you may wish to add them to the rigging but definitely not on BE2c - just a hint not to be too quick with them ;)
