Cheers,
Bud

Bravo!!

(it has cooled down in Wollongong, north of Des. Today is gorgeous with a lovely cooling breeze, about 22 degree's or so)

Post by: Ian from Doncaster on January 15, 2013, 10:47:28 PM: Very clean and neat Des, a great example of this kit and very different to the lozenge covered variants.

Superb build Des. You really knocked this one out. I had trouble mating the cowling pieces! Yours look like they fit perfectly. I like the scheme and the gun is a nice touch.

Best

I wish I could say the same about my WNW Fok DVII falling together nicely .............

I finally finished this model, it was a complete joy to build, it virtually just falls together.
Finally ?? ;D ;D ;) , it was released just before Christmas, if I remember correctly. Looks excellent! Extreme good paint job.

Perhaps I'll build one in the future. There has been an LVA version, but with the lozenge scheme purple, green, brown.

Get used to it. ;D Des scratch builds entire models in the time it takes me to put together a seat.

Post by: PrzemoL on January 16, 2013, 05:34:11 AM: Congratulations! It is most likely the first completed WNW Hannover. And this scheme is also close to my heart, as this a/c was based on Polish land, in Grudziadz (then Graudentz). Very nice model all around. And really makes my fingers itching to start my build.

Post by: Graham t on January 20, 2013, 09:27:31 AM: Lovely job, great laminated effect on the prop. I must pick up one of these & I'd probably chose this scheme to avoid having to paint the lozenge on the rear fuselage as I hear that's what has to be done :o!
Title: Re: WnW Hannover Cl.II
Post by: Des on January 20, 2013, 09:38:35 AM: Thank you for all the very kind comments, very much appreciated.

Lance - The kit went together so quick becuase of the excellent engineering Wingnuts put into making the model, everything fits perfectly.

Graham - The propeller is a real laminated wood propeller, have a look at the link below for more props in the range, Doug Craner is the mastermind behind these props.

Here are two photos which show the prop well.

Post by: ALBATROS1234 on January 20, 2013, 05:40:44 PM: wow , you knocked that up in no time, i imagine after those scratch builds a wnw kit just falls together for you. she turned out really slick, it reminds me of the roland c.ii colors. then i remember you are usually the first to finish all the new releases.
