Title: CSM Caudron GIII
Post by: LT1962 on April 04, 2022, 01:12:19 PM
Finally got the finishing touches on the Copper State Models GIII. Fantastic kit, equal to WnW in every respect.

Rigging is done with 0.12 monofilament.

Lovely workmanship on your Caudron.

The tail booms on this aircraft almost make you think this should been a pusher aircraft ..........

Regards

A Stunning build in all aspects! The rigging looks perfect and the very subtle weathering is also top notch. Brilliant build!

    Beautiful work on a challenging Kit, the rigging and finish are really exceptionally well done! Just looking at the rigging alone indicates this was a long Building process, how did it compare to the "average" WW.I subject?
Cheers,
Lance

Absolutely beautiful work! I have a friend who may ask me to build his CSM G.III so I'm always eager to see and hear more about this kit.

Super model. As Rick has commented, the finish and weathering effects are superb and the rigging is marvelous.

I can only sign what is already said about your great model!
The french blue-grey looks a bit strong on the blue side, but this may have the reason in the camera pictures and looks better in real.

I had not built yet my CSM Caudron G.IV in 1/48 but I wish this kit here was also available in 1/48.

Cheers,
Frank

Thanks for the kind comments.

You are right Frank, the blue is not the right one, but it was the best I could get. I had to use Tamiya. Vallejo make a better match but I found it difficult to get hold of.

Hey LT!
the model you made is just wonderful!
may I ask how did you paint the rigging? did you paint the monofilament in advance or once it is in place?
thank you!

ciao

Hi Edo,

I painted the mono when it was in place.

I painted it in stages as I went so that I could reach all the hard to get at places and not get caught out at the end with some difficult to reach. I thinned the blue with thinners about 50%/50% and used a fine tipped brush.

wow! all my respects, sir, as it is a VERY hard work....
I ususlly paint mine in advance with a Sharpie, but the result is not as good as yours, but I won’t try to emulate you... I am too sure I’ll end up with a mess  ::)

really stunning results!
