Thanks everyone!
I've been putting some thought into my build now and I think I'll be amending it a little.
I will definitely be building the WnW Gotha G.I, I am so impressed that they have released it for everyone to enjoy! Just so I don't have an overlapping build I will be changing mine slightly to model the 1st incarnation of the G.I called the "Friedel-Ursinus Type FU". This way I can have the Friedel and the G.I in my collection.
WnWs release of the Gotha G.I is perfect timing for the stage that I am at in my build as I can easily convert it to the FU without much modification at this point in my build. I am very pleased with how accurate I was able to make the center cockpit area in comparison to the WnW kit and instructions but the FU version had a few variations.
The FU had a different cockpit covering, engines, tail and wings than the G.I.
The cockpit covering was a simpler design and there were a few redesigns along the way.
One particular variation is the engines. The first version had the radiator in the engine nacelle and the nacelle was a little "boxy"
I'm going to go with the second version with exposed engines and Hazlet radiators so I can really detail them up.
Onward and upward!
Thanks so much for looking in and the encouragement!
