A Great kit!
So frail I dare not touch it again, for as you can see, the wires pop off every time. Get one. Its a bargain.
Do yourselves a favour. Its only £30!

Nice build Dave,
I was just wondering how this was coming along. Spinner looks spot on, she's dirty but not overdone. I really like it mate. ;)
I simply love it. Ugly little bu@@er that it is ;)
Special hobby have really responded well to WNW, I wish Roden had shown the same attitude.
I see Hannants have sold out of the early version though.
Not too late for me for Xmas with some Aviattic Decals.
Ta for sharing
Keith

Dave,
Cracking build! Love it! ;)
What part of the model is fragile?
You have inspired me to get off my butt and have a go with the late version.
Cheers,
Bob Von Bristols

wing joint, control joints, undercarriage fixing and control horns.

Dave,
Did you pin the wings?
Bob ;)
-
Great model, indeed. Congratulations, Dave!
As far as frailty is concerned, no wonder RFC had objections to accept a monoplane, it must have looked frail to their eyes in 1910s. But still, it is a pity they did not give it a chance, it might have brought a breakthrough at the Western Front in many aspects, earlier than SE5a and Camel.
-
No Bob but I would next time. The cockpit is sublime. Decals awful, grabby stretchy thin and translucent. These are spare Alleycat ones.
-
Dave, it looks real! ;D The spinner is exceptional, with the chipping of the gloss red--looks like sheet metal! Beautiful overall appearance.
Have you built the AlleyCat version? If so, how does this compare? Thanks.
Cheers & huzzas,
Bob

Ditto, ditto.....really a masterful build...so much so that I will now buy one!
Bravo!
Cheers from NYC,

The moldings and interior are superior to the Alleycat kit. The Alleycat schemes and decals are superior though.
-
Truly superb, Dave! Your weathering and overall finish are brilliant.
Cheers,
Bud

PI agree with all the others - a truly spectacular model wonderfully presented. That is a real WOW! model. Pity it is in the wrong scale! The spinner is something else again - it it really does look as though it is metal. Brilliant.

LM, there is one kit available in the true right scale:

I think I built that same or similar Czechmaster kit back in 1991 or so - I recall it coming in a bubble pack with no box or anything else, cast in dark green resin. Not a bad kit at all - their kits were way ahead of the times but super hard to get back then!
-
Gorgeous model! The finish is superb. Great camo and markings scheme you chose also.
-
Extremely well made model, mate -
Especially as this was not the most pretty of aircraft!
Regards
Dave

A superb job done,on that Dave. I especially like the castor oil staining.

Thank you very much
-
Great to see this one completed Dave and I must say, you have done a brilliant job with the build and the finish, this is a very attractive looking model.

Great Looking Build ! Nice to see something a bit different.
-
Just a super job Dave! Funny little beggar, but you really
make it shine. The effect on the spinner is gorgeous, by
the way. Well done!
Cheers,
Ernie :)
-
Dave,
I can only echo what the others have said: very well done Sir.
-
Hello Dave,
Extremely nice build, I see this one for the first time and like it very much! Congratulations!
Kind regards
Patrick
