Bud -

Joining in a bit late here (not been around for a while) but what another little gem you have put together - your DVII looks stunning!

What next on your workbench, mate?

Regards

Dave

Thanks, guys!  Dave, I've got the Macchi M.5 on the bench as part of the Seaplane group build.  Working on the interior and should have some pics up in a few days.  I also dug out the Copper State Nieuport 6H and might add that to the group build, as well.
Cheers,
Bud

Bud,
Certainly one of the nicest, if not the nicest 1/48th DVIIs I have seen built! Like you I Love Gabriels scheme and also his disdain for Herr Goring! Your use of the Berman PE cowls and other PE is outstanding! A first class build that was a joy to follow!
