Title: DFW C.V Late, 1. Eskadra Wielkopolska 1919/1920, Karaya 1/48 scale
Post by: coyotemagic on February 18, 2016, 01:41:34 PM: I built this model as a tribute to our dear friend, Przemo, for all he taught me about modeling over the years. There are several inaccuracies, but I won't point them out. Some of them must make Przemo's eyes hurt and for that I'm truly sorry.
So, here she is, done at last. Here's the build log http://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=6393.new;topicseen#new

Thanks for looking in, my friends, and thank you, Przemo, for the inspiration.
Cheers,
Bud

Post by: xmald on February 18, 2016, 05:47:53 PM: Bud, I'm truly delighted since I live in Wielkopolska (Great Poland) too - not far from Przemo. I work in a small village, where the first commander of Powstanie Wielkopolskie (the Great Poland Uprising) Stanisław Taczak was born. It is the only uprising in Polish history that was successful and the people of Wielkopolska (I will use the original name) were able to reclaim the whole region from Germans. In the process the Ławica airfield in Poznań was captured along with many German planes among which I believe your DFW. I' ll take a picture of the small museum located in Mieszków that which was started by a group of enthusiasts to commemorate the uprising and post it here if you are interested.
The model is absolutely brilliant - uplease to your usual extremely high standards. Congratulations!

Greetings Bud

Clearly it is not my place to speak on behalf of Prze, but I have no doubt that when he views your success he will feel pride in his "apprentice". In fact, I hope he takes you to task for your excessive humility! ;D

Personally (and I can speak for me ;) ) I consider your results to be absolutely outstanding!

So toughen up and build us another, please. ;D

Post by: PrzemoL on February 19, 2016, 03:45:27 AM: Dear me, Bud. Thank you very much but honestly, I do not feel I have done anything to earn such a tribute. I feel embarassed, as in the matter of fact it is me, who has been learning a lot (if not everything) about WW1 aviation modelling in three subsequent forums from many fellow modellers, you included, for almost 10 years now!
Anyway, I am extremely glad, that you have finished this model to such a spectacular result. Let it be a tribute to General Anders who flew it in the observer cockpit in the winter 1919/1920 and also those men who at the beginning of the uprising in Wielkopolska captured Ławica air station from Germans with many aircraft, this DFW included (as was correctly mentioned by Filip).

Thanks, Przemo! We've all come a long way since those days on the 'drome, haven't we.

I took her to Silver Wings, but you weren't there! I missed you, buddy. This one didn't place. I took first with my Rumpler C.I, second with my Macchi M-5 and Bob Zelnick(sp?) took third with his 1/72 scale Oeffag D.III.

Again, thanks to you all.

That is so much true, Bud!

BTW, sincere congratulations on the trophies you have won.

This is a great model and I don't know what inaccuracies you are talking about Bud!

Best regards,
Sasho

Thank you, Sasho! But since you mentioned inaccuracies, I will list just a few:
1) The port side national insignia are reversed.
2) The cowling access ports are all wrong and I didn't bother to correct them.
3) No DFW emblem on the cowling.
4) ...and so on, and so forth. Etc., etc., etc.

Bud
