Lloyd 40.16 scratch build (1/48)
« on: February 03, 2015, 05:26:31 AM »
Hi,

It's my first scratch build model. I finished it in January 2013. This plane is really ugly, but it is interesting!  ;D

Congratulations on finishing your first scratch build, and you have done a superb job with the model. Even though it is an odd looking aeroplane you have captured it perfectly, it is also an unusual coolur scheme but attractive in a strange way, well done.

Beautiful job, Arnaud!  Not ugly at all, but a strange, exotic beauty.  Very well done.
Cheers,
Bud

Just an OUTSTANDING scratch build! A little ungainly looking Aircraft but as Bud said it is a Beauty in its own " exotic" way!

Congratulations on an excellent scratch build of an unusual machine. That is something to be really proud of - I am think that there is another one to add to my list of projects in God's Own Scale…….

Thank you very much to you all for your so friendly messages!

Aircraft Lloyd are technically very interesting, although they are often very unsightly. They have a lot of charm, and engineers had good ideas for this period!
