[Special Hobby] Lloyd CV 1/48
« on: May 22, 2019, 12:55:32 AM »
Hello everyone

I present my latest achievement is a Lloyd Brand Special Hobby representing an Austro-Hungarian unit in 1917 on the eastern front. The model is very healthy and assembly has been no particular problem.

What a superb model - the wood and fabric colours look completely realistic. The base really sets the model off too - in all an amzing piece of modelling.

Those Lloyd types are fascinating - I really must add a couple to my to do list.

A real gem, Gérard! The wood looks so fantastic. Hopefully CSM or an othe company will do one in 32nd scale sometime.

Very nicely done Gerard, an unique aircraft modeled exceptionally well. Displayed on the base it all becomes a real eye catcher!

Pure essence of WW1 aviation - those A-H bare wood and linen are so attractive. Especially when executed so finely. Congratulations and thanks for sharing this beauty!
