Title: A few from my collection
Post by: PrzemoL on April 24, 2012, 05:28:53 PM: It seems, we know each other from at least two "other places". But, nevermind, I will join the company and show some of my up-till-now builds:

Post by: Chris Johnson on April 24, 2012, 10:04:49 PM: Truly inspirational work here, especially the 1/72 models. I only hope to do half as well on my Fee when I work up the nerve to try my hand at it. As for the Felixstowe F.2A, words fail me.

Cheers,

Chris

Post by: RAGIII on May 07, 2012, 05:08:17 PM: All are gorgeous! In particular I admire the SPAD VII as I know how much work it takes to get that kit built, let alone finished and rigged to the standard you have done!

Post by: andonio64 on May 07, 2012, 10:36:41 PM: Beautiful works, I always admire who is able to reach such high results on such a small scale as 1/72...
Especially for WW1 planes which were so small!

Post by: modelmaker on May 31, 2012, 11:15:02 PM: Damn I love that FEE :o and that Spad well what can I say but wow!! I've just bought that kit and an Etch set to detail it from Poland. The set arrived in the mail today but I'm a little scared to make a start , why heck I love a challenge but I think I've bitten off a bit more than I can chew this time:-\ !!!
Your 1/72nd scale builds are brilliant but stick with the 1/32nd scale stuff Prez your a master at it!

Impressive lot indeed. What did you use for the 1/72 rigging? It's super fine. Usually I can tell 1/72 without reading the caption, and almost always it's thick, spidery rigging. Your rigging is spot on. What's the secret?

Jeff, the rigging in small models is black elastic thread torn out from black stockings. I have shown it in the presentation which is available in this forum in the Rigging for everyone section.

I recall your WNW Pfalz build from 2011. IIRC you said it would be your last 1/32 scale model. :(

I know I am not the only one who is very pleased you decided to continue with this scale, as well as with your 1/72 builds.

Next please. :)

Post by: PrzemoL on May 10, 2018, 02:38:03 AM: I have just realized, that there were 3 of my models built within Group Builds in this forum a few years ago. But those threads were lost in time. So here are a few photos of those models in chronological order.

Hannover Cl.II (1/32, WNW) from Aircraft Station Ławica (near Poznań), Polish number 218/18, ex German 667/18. Bought from Germans, delivered to Ławica on April 30th, 1919. Overhauled and repainted before May 5th. Flown for an agitation mission to Piła (Schneidemuehl, 100 km north from Poznań) on May 12th, 1919 during the Wielkopolska (Great Poland) Uprising against Germany. Pilot Lt. Jerzy Dziembowski, Observer Sgt. Zdzisław Bilażewski. Damaged at forced landing near Czarnków (about 70 km north from Poznań) after an engine failure. Repaired, used for training at Ławica and in late 1919 sent to the eastern front to war against Russia but not used in action anymore due to poor technical state. Probably scraped in 1920.

Felixstowe F.2A (1/32 WNW) N4297 - built by Saunders as the early version, delivered to Felixstowe in May 1918. In summer it was converted to the late open-cockpit version, fitted with balanced ailerons and painted in blue-white pattern. In November (?) it was photographed in a pretty worn state with incomplete upper wing roundels and traces of exchange/repainting of ailerons and upper starboard wing. This is the state I tried to depict in my model. It was still in Felixstowe in January 1919.

Hansa Brandenburg W.12 (1/32 WNW) 1414 flown by Ltn. Becht, I.C. Staffel at Zeebrugge in December 1917. The WNW kit was enhanced with Aviattic Naval Hex decals, HGW seat belts and Gaspatch turnbuckles for those few cables in this model. 1414 required scratching the bulged pilot doors. The choice was inspired by Pheon Models decal set.
