Hello,
offering my unbuilt 1/72 kits on this site, I thought it could be a good idea to post some pics of my 1/72 WWI airplanes and dioramas that I actually built between about 2000 and 2010, when I quit 1/72 scale. Please don't be too critical, most of These models are really old... (and excuse the dust ;) )
I show what's left of my bigger collection, but I moved appartments several times and this and other accidents destroyed several of my old models from these days

Eduards D. H. 2 in Hawkers Colors. The dio depicts Hawkers last take-off before being shot down by Richthofen. I remember me building this dio with snow, then I discovered searching the Internet that the November of 1916 was much too warm...

My beloved Unfinished: I always loved the Halberstadt Cl. II and when Ardpol released their resin kit, I finally started to built her in Schlasta 26b colors (this unit comes from Fürth, in my neighbourhood). I wanted THE model of the Halberstadt, wanted to built THE PERFECT model. Of course, I never finished her...

I am strangely fascinated by the battle of Verdun 1916. I took several steps to portray it, this is one of these tries.

My Interpretation of that famous plane. I startet with the Roden kit and ended with a kitbash between Roden and Revell. This was the worst Roden kit I ever got in my hands...

I always liked the Ford-T ambulances, here in British Service. Ist a Fine Scale Factory resin kit which was fantastic. And I liked the novel "Die Pflasterkästen" written by Alexander Moritz Frey.

This dusty bird is Czech Masters resin kit. It was my first resin kit ever. (I know now that the upper wing shouldn't be straight...) Juist after I had finished it, after I had shortened all those struts in the correct length and managed to get that heavy upper wing on them Eduard released their fantastic injection molded J. I ....

Signs of a modelling crisis: When 1/72 begun not to satisfy me any longer, i went into 1/144 for a short time and scratchbuilt. It didn't end the crisis (The tripe, I think, is 3D printed, the rest is Balsa Wood and scrap plastic)
Back to 1/72:

"Thirst": Verdun; I built this Diorama when I read that thirsty French and German soldiers frequently met at shellholes filled with dirty water.

Verdun again: I tried to depict the painting "L'Enfer" by Georges Leroux from 1921.
Thank you!

My thoughts exactly, Borsos! What wonderful small scale stuff, especially the dioramas!
Cheers,

Absolutely awesome collection Borsos! Halberstadts are my favorite aircraft. I really like the effect you achieved on the wings, looks like real fabric to me. Many thanks for sharing these great pictures!

These are super models and dies. I can only agree with what has been written - an outstanding collection indeed. What a shame that some have been lost in moves - you would have had an even larger collection to be envious of.

Fantastic collection. I also got a bit fed up with 1/72 but now and again the urge comes over me, but I never reached this kind of quality.
-
Fantastic work indeed. Realistic dioramas and finished aircraft done to the highest standard.
Cheers,
Gary

Thank you very much for your kind words, Gentlemen!
It makes me happy (and quite a bit proud too) that you like them. :)
-
Wow! Borsos, my friend your talents never fail to amaze me!
Superb work on the models and dioramas, especially in the
small scale.!
Cheers,
Ernie :)
-
Yes, gobsmacked.
I am specially taken by your management of colors - all are well muted, nothing is stark. And weathered where appropriate. Wonderful.
-
A really wonderful collection, Borsos, and a real tour through the amazing scenes and emotions of WW1... A beautiful collection that shows real understanding of the inhumanity of war ... And Brilliant Modelling!
Well Done!

Borsos! Your work is fantastic, I love them all sir! I wish I could have picked up more of your kits when you sold them, but I'm more saddened that you've left 1/72nd. (My stash is too big now too.)
