Ozkan,
What a hanger full of beautiful work. Wonderful to view and thank you for the sharing. I must say that the scratch built Bleriot XI-2 is my favorite. Love the translucent look of the fabric and the shaded ribs. Looks spot on to me.
A real jewel. :)

Great models Ozkan:
I agree with Paddy, the Bleriot is a work of art. Your subtle differences in shading; you have really captured that transluscent look. Very nice. Nice to see different markings as well. Thanks for sharing.
Best

Ozkan,
Outstanding works my friend. Being very much partial to the SPAD XIII I very much appreciate seeing one such as yours so well built and painted. Even more so seeing her in different markings other French or USAAS .Absolutely beautful in Turkish markings. The Crown Jewel of your collection shown to date has to go to your Master Class level Bleriot XI-2. I can honestly say she's the finest Bleriot I've seen to date. Absolutely brilliant use of subtle tonal differences in your paint application on the wings and an excellent translucent effect. What technique do you use to achieve such an excellent effect? If have any in progress photos of the Bleriot build up please by all means feel free to share them here.No doubt I'm not the only member dying to see those. All and all each of your projects presented here to date show well your talents my friend,and I look forward to seeing even more in the future.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette
PS: On your Nieuport 27C1 conversion is that using the old Tom's Modelworks vacuform conversion kit?

Thank you Ozkan for sharing your brilliant models with us, like others have said, the Bleriot really stands out, it is a superb model. I'm glad to see that you tackled the Battle Axe Fokker E.III, a bad kit but builds up to be a great model, I enjoyed building mine. Very well done with your collection, they are all beautiful models.

very nice stuff sir,thanks for posting.

Stunning work, Ozcan! Wow! Every one of them is absolutely gorgeous, but I have to say I'm in agreement with everyone else regarding your Bleriot. The best I've ever seen. Didn't we see the beginnings of that Albatros on the Aerodrome?
Cheers,
Bud

Dear friends thank you very much for compliments. You may find more photos at our modelling site on galery page (www.ozkanturker.com) . But articles in Turkish only :(
I like to built all kind of aircraft but I focused to built Turkish aircrafts . Last year we celebrated Turkish Air Forces's 100th year. In these period over 200 different kind aircrafts from many countries were serviced. So there is a long modelling way to pass :)
I
Bleriot is 12 years old model and if I can arrange photos I will make a topic for building progress of it.
Nieuport convertion is scratch but I used Tom's Modelwork PE set.

Ozkan

Ozkan,
Thank you for the excellent link my friend. Truly awesome models of your's and your talented friend. I was very much impressed with your Bleriot before and even more now that I've seen the in progress photos. Her wing costruction is simply amazing my friend.

Great works Ozkan.
I am very curious about the different markings of the early Turkish Airforce, I see at least 3 different types on your fantastic models.
Where can I get some information about that?
I am very interested by "minor" (allow me to say that, I can't find a better word) air forces during WW1 and the 20s.
Ciao

Antonio here some information for you :
1912 – 1915
When the Ottoman Empire entered the war in October of 1914, it had less than a dozen military aircraft. These were identified by red rudders marked with a white crescent and five-point star, in the design of the Ottoman flag. The crescent was open to the rudder’s trailing edge on both sides. No fuselage markings were carried. One of these aircraft, a Deperdussin, is known to have carried the crescent-and-star marking on the underside of the wing.
Some of the early Ottoman aircraft, including L.V.G. B.Is and Bleriots, carried a red-white-red roundel on the underside of the starboard wing and the crescent-and-star on their rudders. This is most likely a pre-war marking scheme and was abandoned by mid-1915, the potential for confusion being obvious.
1915 – 1918
As Germany began to supply aircraft in substantial numbers, the Ottoman markings were changed to a black square surrounded by a thin white border. This was painted over the German crosses on wings, fuselages and rudders and matched the various cross styles in size and position.
Gotha seaplanes, some two dozen of which were supplied to the Ottoman Empire, retained the crescent-and-star markings throughout the war. These were carried at the wingtips on the upper and lower surfaces of both wings, and on the rudder. The design was mirrored from port to starboard wing, so that the crescent was always open to the wingtip and the star outboard.
After armistice Ottoman Air Force disbanded and some aircrafts which were flyable condition collected at center Anatolia for Turkish War of Independence. New Turkish markings accepted as red square with white border and white star and crescent over red rudder. This system remained till 1972 some minor changes. However especially during the independence war there were some "unorthodox" marking applications such as Turkish flags under lower wings on Pfalz DIII .
