Title: Daimler-Mercedes D.III
Post by: GB on July 28, 2018, 06:38:52 PM

Spent the day putting this little beauty together - destined for a Roland C.II. WnW kit with Taurus Models conical springs and spark plugs and I used surgical tape (medipore) to replicate the asbestos lagging. Acrylics, enamels and oils add some colour...

   Gary,
      I'd consider results like this spectacular with my lightning like pace of building in a week or more. Very nicely done and impressive to say the very least!
Cheers,
Lance

Fill in some fuel and it will run! Beautiful engine, 1/32 seems to be a nice scale to show all the details.

Cheers,
Frank
