Evening All,
I have posted in the announcements section that I had missed this until now: I have been seriously distracted from modelling for a time now and had not seen this GB. i already have a project in hand which is inappropriate as a subject and more than half finished, so I am going to start a new one specifically for this GB. I will be slow at first as I want to finish the other project, but I think that I can complete this one well before the deadline.
The subject is the Deutsche Flugzeug Werke (DFW) B1 Mars. This machine came in one of two variants: a monoplane and a biplane - mine will be a biplane. Both were two seaters and were intended for reconnaissance. They entered service prior to the outbreak of hostilities in 1914 but saw service in the early months of the conflict and so meet the criteria for the GB.
I have made a start by gluing two pieces of basswood (lime) together which will be shaped to make moulds for the fuselage.
While the glue is setting I can proceed further with the Short project!
Thanks for looking.
Stephen.
