New Polish Gotha G.IV 100/17 1920
« on: December 29, 2012, 01:37:23 AM »
Hello!
 Today, before the premiere I want to show you my latest model. After the turn of the Fe.2b captured at the airport in Poznan Jurors in Germany Gotha bomber G.IV number 213/17. The plane has been renovated, repainted and given a new number 100/17. Was drafted to 21 Squadron which made ​​the devastating bombing As part of armored trains at the front Bolshevik during the Polish-Bolshevik War of 1920. 31.VIII 1920 during a test flight landing after the plane broke in Lvov chassis and suffered light damage.
 Unfortunately, the model is still in makeshift wheels waiting for the opportunity to buy wheel Scale Spokes. I have a request to you: judge it dirty. Are they realistic? Do not exaggerated? Do not disregard any item that should be dirty and clean?
 Thanks in advance for critics.
 Marcin
 P.S.
 On the desk is waiting DH2 the WNW :)

She's absolutely gorgeous, Marcin!  I love the Polish markings.  Very cool looking.  And she's not too dirty.  Just right.  By the time the Polish A/F got her, I reckon she was fairly well used.
Cheers,
Bud

Marcin,
   Lovely job, your work is truly impressive. I am particularly impressed with the highlighting and weathering, expertly done and the wood effects where used are excellent. Great subject, unusual scheme (I didn't know that Poland had one in service) and a beautiful model all around!
Cheers,
Lance

Polish Air Force plane Gotha had one version of G-III and G-IV 4. All aircraft were the spoils of war. Served in combat, only one G-IV aircraft of No 213/17, which changed numbers after the review of Shoal 100/17.

Nice to see you here.  :)

Yours Gotha looks very good. Especially not covered engines are superb, also painting and weathering.

Hello Marcin:

Outstanding all around.  Not too weathered, the engines open is a nice touch and the rigging is great. 

Best

Lovely different finish expertly applied. with wire wheels it's going to be a stunner!
The poles seem to use spoked wheels a lot.
