Title: Armstrong Whitworth F.K. 8 MID - Copper State Models 1/48
Post by: xmald on August 15, 2017, 08:51:37 PM
What can I say - definitely one of the best models I`ve had a pleasure to build! The CSM has done a great job - everything fits like a charm and the number and the quality of the details is overwhelming! I`ve used mostly the Tamiya and Gunze paints. The rigging is 0,08 and 0,10 fishing line.
I think the pleasure of building the Big Ack can only be compared to WnW for 1/32nd scale builders! I`m glad I have the Late version to build ;)
My model depicts the plane number C.3549 from 35 Sqn RFC from December 1917.

   A fantastic job all round, Filip, your finish and detail are superb! I really like the rigging terminals, they really provide that final degree of realism we all strive for in our models. Congratulations on a beautiful model! 8) 8) 8)

I really enjoyed following your build - the model is even better. As Edgar writes this could so easily be mistaken for 1/32 scale.

I think I need a thesaurus of superlatives.  This is getting maddening!

Incredible is the best I can muster with my jaw on the floor.

Take a bow!

yes this kit is wnw for 1/48. we must applaud our friend edgar who with not much help has made us 1/48 enthusists dream again. for much too long 1/32 has gotten all of the new toys and 1/72 has for many years had every airframe imaginable. it is wonderful to have copper state working to help even the score. LONG LIVE COPPER STATE MODELS....LONG LIVE EDGAR
