What can I say, I'm fairly happy with the result. The kit is one of the best resin kits I've built!













and some WiP photos:

























Best regards

Beautiful... the essence of early aviation, wood and linen. Great to be able to admire your work.

Absolutely astonishing and the best images I have ever seen to show how good resin kits can be.

I'll go further Xmald and say your model photos are now added to my reference image files because they are so detailed and will be invaluable when I tackle the Special Hobby 1/48 kit.

Many thanks for sharing these inspirational images with us.

Wow! This plane has had it's fair share of smoke and bullets over the battlefields. I love the fact that you are the first as far as I know to render repairs in the canvas Bravo! The chap at Lukgraph has done a superb job!

So good!  How did you achieve the staining of the canvas and the chipped-metal paint?

That is super in every way. The repairs and worn look of the canvass is most realistic. I am still trying to get my mind around the fact that this is only 1/32 scale - it looks so much larger.
