A magnificent model Des, truly a world class replica from one of the best WW1 modellers in the world! The level of detail is inspiring yet at the same time you are able to capture the fragility of these early machines. It's all the more jaw-dropping when we realise this a scratch built model, a unique one of a kind. Your models deserve a home in the world's major aviation museums.

Very excellent Des! May I ask what paint you use for your brass, it is very convincing.

Thank you for all the very kind comments, it gives me a great sense of satisfaction to know that so many people appreciate my model.

Mark - All the brass used on this model is real brass, no paint.

So the brass is real brass, what about the wood? Is it real wood?
