Title: Siemens-Schuckert D.III, Eduard 1/48
Post by: Bughunter on October 10, 2018, 07:09:52 AM: Siemens-Schuckert D.III

With the pictures of the finished biplane a project ends, which I started in Jan 2016. So this is model number 5 of the actual year.

The biplane is a Siemens-Schuckert D.III, as flown by Ltn. Heinrich Dembowsky 1918, with a rotary engine Siemens-Halske Sh.III. The kit was Eduard Profipack in 1/48, also the engine is a Brassin-kit of Eduard. The Spandau-MGs are Master, Aviattic decals are used for lozenge and the turnbuckles are Gaspatch. The 4-blade air acrew is hand crafted.
As usual I have used paints of Alclad, Gunze and oils.

A detailed build report with additional macro pictures can be found here: https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=9722.0

The build was fun, because is is really a great kit with good fit.

Enough text, I assume you want to see pics:

It was a nice experience to build such a modern kit, compared to the older WWI kits.

Bob, for that amount of money I would:
1. sell the model.
2. buy and build the kit again
3. quit the job
4. build the rest of my big stash, instead of the daily work
;)

Post by: jeroen_R90S on October 25, 2018, 05:14:18 AM: (another) excellent model, Frank! The contrast between the lozenge, gold-yellow insignia, black fuselage and that big wooden propeller makes this a very striking model!
