Hello,
I started this very interesting model.

There are two problems with this model:
- Decals wings.
- The engine, which is really bad. This should normally represent an Argus As.III....

Will following along on this one , we don't really see this one being built in the scale so this is a treat . I have built this kit when it was first released and have another stash . I had to sand down the fuselage insides for the PE cockpit to fit . The engine is sad even with the PE parts added . Copper State Models has an excellent replacement .

Outstanding start! I envy your ability to work with PE interior parts. I have never had much luck with them. One reason I sold this kit long ago :-[

Hi Arnaud
I too bought this one and it remains unstarted in the stash. Brilliant subject but the reason why I have not started it is because it looks a bit difficult so I would be interested to see how you put it together.

you shoul buy the copper state argus engine.its beautiful and cheap

Hello,
Thank you for your feedback!
Albatros 1234, unfortunately, the Argus is out of stock :(

Hello Arnaud,
how nice to see this one getting built! You did a really good job on the PE interior. Chapeau!
Best wishes

Nice work! I`ve got the kit so, I know how crude this thing is ;) Your model is going to be great!
You should most certainly buy the CSM`s Argus - try to contact Edgar - maybe he`s got some more left or he can cast some more.
-
Thank you,
I'll wait for the Argus.
I have just received Centenary Datafile 168 and 169 'Hawa'! vol.1 and 2. I have not found the answer to a big question for the color of the wings.
There is finally little information. 4 or 5 color? when? Application straight or diagonally? I have 4 color in my stock. I find very attractive profiles Cl.IIIa 3870/18 and 7005/18.
I do not know what to do. If the answer is 5 color, I need to order ....
Thank you all
Arnaud

Beautiful work on the interior and wings, Arnaud!

Just checked. Edgar has 9 in stock. You really should get it. It will make a world of difference. I built the Koster Hannover a while back, and it came with a gorgeous little engine. Still, if the CSM offering was available at the time, I would have used it instead.
Cheers,
Bud

That Hannover is looking very, very good, Arnaud. I do like your interpretation of the interior and your wonderful use of colour. As with many questions about WW1 aircraft, you may never get a definitive answer on the wing fabric. But I just love the way it looks now! Please show us more, Regards, Marc

It is good, I received my order, and it is splendid!

Yes, I know it's always very complicated to know! :-[
I do not know how to do. Normally, the louvres are hollow. It is very small, and there are many .... If you have an idea? :'(

Another of your beautiful builds - sorry I missed this one before. 3 on the go at once would totally confuse me but you are making a first class job of all three. Glad you have a replacement engine as the new one will certainly make your model look even better.

for the louvers i usually take my scriber and hollow out from the rear . i use a squadron type scriber wich has a pointy hook end so i can just dig in until it hollows out to my satisfaction.
