Title: WNW Roland
Post by: Ian from Doncaster on March 06, 2013, 07:12:06 AM: Here is the model I completed recently. Started mid Jan and this is OOB bar the rigging and Taurus plugs. I dulled down the lozenge which was otherwise very bright. One of the cabane struts popped out by about 1mm when glueing the top wing on, so the alignment is a little skew, but not that obvious in the pics.

Apart from that, everything slotted together nicely :)

Nicely done!

Post by: Ian from Doncaster on March 07, 2013, 10:07:14 AM: Thanks folks - I did enjoy building this and chose this one specially for my other half who is German. My less than sharp photography hides the failings with my skills, and many on here would do a much better job - but for me, I was pleased with this one...

Post by: lcarroll on March 07, 2013, 12:42:07 PM: Not many could do a better job, Ian, it's a very beautiful model and your detail work is extra special. I like your final result very much; nice work!
Cheers,
