Yes, another one finished and out of the drawer!
It's from AZ models and i had to get some work done to get it right, specially to the woden panels (being a shorter nose) and top wing (it had no central cut out in the trailing edge).
I did my job in the interior, but it's impossible for anyone to see whatever :( ! That top wing >:( !
Anyway this is my small (1/72) perspective of Lt. Roland Garros aircraft.

Thx for looking.

Well done. The rigging is particularly nice.

Zabu,
Absolutely beautiful Morane Saulnier my friend. Look at the photos it's hard to believe it's in 1/72 scale, truly impressive project. The airfield diorama is the perfect setting for this gem.
Highest Regards,

Very well done Zabu, to do what you have done in 1:72 scale speaks volumes. The build is excellent and the rigging is truely amazing, and to top it off you have a diorama as well, congratulations on presenting us with a stunning display.

Very nice model Zabu. You have done a great
job, especially since it is in 1/72. The aerodrome
diorama is super! I look forward to more of your models.
Thanks for sharing with us.
Best Regards,
Ernie

Very nice Zabu. I'd love to see some details of the background diorama...

Nicely done Zabu! Like Des said, Hard to believe it is 1/72nd! I Like your airfield. I had something similar in 1/72nd about 40 years ago or maybe more 8)

Excellent addition to the squadron!!

Amazing work in 1/72!!! I can barely see that small anymore. ;) Great job on a classic and interesting subject, and nicely displayed as well. Excellent! :D
Regards,
Bob

Absolutely brilliant job. I would like to build one of these - probably from scratch, but I could never reach your standard. The painting is absolutely top notch without a doubt. I also like the airfield background which is of the same very high standard as the model. Congratulations.
-
I know this kit. It does indeed require a lot of work to bring it to the Garros's L standard. You have done a very fine job on it. Congrats, Zabu!
-
Thanks for your kindness fellows.
I must say that i'm trully happy and honored to be among you buddies.
@IanB:
i'll post some photos of the diorama in the diorama section, but it's not quite finished yet!
@lone modeller:
making it from scratch it will be already over my standard ;)
Cheers

Hell Zabu:
This really turned out nice. Outstanding work all around and the diorama makes a nice setting.
Best

Pretty little bird Zabu.....and I mean little!

Chapeau bas monsieur c`est extraordinaire!... I mean a great looking little Morane you have mate. And the diorama catches the eye too.
-
Excellent.
I read that AZ kit is not the best but, you made it look great. :)
I always liked the Type L.
In fact, I just put a bid on an Eduard MS type L in 1/48. It will be my next build if I win it .
-
Thank you so much guys.
@Joe: the AZ model took some work, but i just couldn't get over it! Good luck with your bid.
Cheers

I`ve got one in my stash too, it looks a little bit crude but I guess all of early Eduard kits look this way, but I must say they are quite good. The only real problem are PE struts, spars etc. which can be solved pretty easy. I would be more than glad seeing you build one - it may actually the motivation I need to get my dirty hands on mine.
-
I won the kit.
I read that someone glued the PE struts to some sort of styrene card to give them a bit of substance.
Perhaps I may replace them with something else entirely.
Anyway, I'm used to primitive kits and have yet to experience WNW quality. :)
-
Joe, in my Hansa D.I I`ve just glued the strips of Plastruct (like Evergreen) or covered the parts I wanted to thicken with a number of layers of superglue and it works fine and doesn`t require a lot of time.
Congrats mate on winning it!
Yeah I know what you mean, I`m not spoiled with WNW kits yet, and frankly speaking I find it really rewarding to build these oldie goldies into decent looking models. Even though I find Taube my best model, the most rewarding one is still Smer`s Avro 504.
-
This is so nice :) I am really in awe of the detail in the scale.
Great work man 8)
All the best
Dave
