Title: Planet models Rumpler C IV in scale 1:48
Post by: radio on December 19, 2013, 11:44:35 PM

Some time ago I began to build the Rumpler C IV about the Observer OLt von Pechmann. Because the planet instructions is bad, so I use too the WNW instructions. The two Windssock Datafiles Nr 35 and 149 also on board.
I need also the correct Serial Number of this aircraft! Does anyone know this?
Here are the pictures from beginning. :-X

Isn't this shaping up beautifully radio? I've never been one for adding aircrew to my models, but I have to admit that your including a pilot certainly adds a new dimension to things and is impressive.

Best wishes
Nigel

Yes Nigel this is nice. The aircrew is from Hecker & Goros a German work shop.

Beautiful work, Martin!  I've got this kit in the stash, so I'll be taking notes.  Hecker & Goros also have an observer figure standing in the firing position.  Will you be adding that one, as well?
Cheers,
Bud

Yes Bud
but it will be one of the last. These two men are in one kit, I think they where for the old Eduard Hannover.

Wonderful work, Martin!  I am dumbfounded by the excellence of
your modelling in such a small scale. I look forward to more examples
from you.

Martin the machine-gun is superb, a real jewel!  The Rumpler
is really coming together now and looking absolutely great.  It's
neat to see the pilot aboard, something not often included. Keep
up the good work, my friend.

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Hello Patrik,
thank you for your words. But the build is not so fast, because I began this build on a other forum in April 2013.
