Hello All,
Thanks to those that followed along with the build. I think this is now done. Absolute pleasure to build and definitely my favourite WNW to date - it's a superb kit, if you haven't made one then you really ought to!
It's from 5 Squadron RAF based in India circa 1925 - Masks for the markings care of 'Mal's Masks'.
Can anyone spot the obvious error? The maps in the cockpit are of France & Flanders ::)
Thanks for looking in...
Guy

Not only was your build a pleasure to watch unfold, but the final pictures are more magnificent than I realized! What a beauty. From details, construction, weathering to rigging! Awesome work!

Super build log - even better finished model. Really makes me think that perhaps I ought to think about one too…
Stephen.

Followed your build and have to say that you have created a mini masterpiece.

Absolutely gorgeous Guy, your build log was a real pleasure to follow and now looking at the completed model is even more pleasurable. You have done a superb job with all aspects of this build form the initial build, painting, decal application, weathering and rigging, all signs of a very experienced and talented modeler. Congratulations Guy and thank you for showing us your masterpiece.
Des.

Guy,
Well, I can only add this to Des`s comments, ABSOLUTELY MAGNIFICENT!!
My compliments on a stunning bit of modelling!
Cheers,

Absolutely magnificent. Congratulations.

Love the Brisfit and absolutely love YOUR Brisfit, Guy!!

Great build, Guy. Striking scheme, fine weathering, beautiful finish, all in all a top class.
And your error with the map reminds me of a text from English textbook I learned from some time ago. There was a couple wishing to go for holidays and they were offered a boring week in Brighton. When they complained, the furious clerk proposed several more exciting options he just "invented". Those included a week in the heart of Amazon jungle, with a map of... London underground. :D Others were: a desert adventure with camel stampede as a highlight, rowing across tropical seas with lurking sharks, etc. After that the couple humbly accepted the peaceful week in Brighton...

Ah, thank you all very much. To be honest, I only really build for the interest & involvement on this great forum!
Not without the usual cock ups & fingerprints but I'd happily try another one - and I don't always say that after a build!
I've got a Camel coming at some point, I've also been sent Edgar's lovely floated Caudron and I really fancy a DH9 and/or DH9a. I'd love to do a DH4 too.. is there much difference in outline to a DH9?
And of course I want WNWs to bring out a Dr.1, Spad and Be2c.
I'm just about to start another conversion course at work and that's going to pretty much end my modelling involvement for the next couple of months - I need to retire!

Guy that is superb.
-
Beautifully done Guy!
Overall silver and white finishes aren't easy to achieve realistically but you have suceeded outstandingly.
:)
-
Nothing more to add, other than that the Bristol looks so much nicer in this colour instead of PC10 over linen :)
If I get one, it'll be the post-war version, too :)
-
Wonderful work, up to the highest standards of this forum. Takes one's breath away!
Mark
-
She's truly stunning, Guy! I'd love to see you work up that Caudron. And, yes, retirement is the only plausible solution.
Cheers,
Bud

Very impressive Bristol, it looks really nice!

Simply superb.

Amazing work.

She's a thing of beauty Guy,
Hope to see another of your great builds before the end of the year.
Best of luck with the course ;)

I have to echo all the sentiment expressed above, Guy - this one is absolutely fantastic. You've pulled off that scheme better than any I've seen. Truly stunning build. I did notice the maps, which was quite a shame considering everything else ;-)
Cheers,
Gary
