I'll also echo what others have said - very, very nice workmanship.  Rigging looks good too.

Regards

Philip,
    Clean, crisp, and a great job of working around the rigging puzzle. You should be real proud of this one, it's a beautifully done model.
Cheers,
Lance :)

Hi Pillip, hi all,
I only found that thread today and am VERY fond of what you've made out of WNW's Rumpler C.IV early bird, Phillip!
I have never built a big WWI bird (exept Revell's Fokker Dr.I in 1:28th scale some 35 years ago...), but couldn't resist to buy WNW's Hannover Cl. II as she came across my pre-christmas-mood all of a sudden... Will I ever build her? At least it is clear that the next bird I want to HAVE and will BUY is the Rumpler C.IV! And your build-log will hopefully give me the courage, I need, to actually BUILD these beauties one glory day...
So that's the story. Thank you for listening!
Richard

Fellow Modelers,
I finished my Rumpler today!  Below are the last “in progress” photos and some photos of the completed model.  I am really happy with the model, and it turned out even better than I hoped.  Wingnut Wings has made a really great product and I am proud to add it to my collection.  Thanks for the support during the build.  I will post additional completed photos when the weather permits me to take them outside.

1st through 6th Image: Shown are the observer’s gun and the steps of how I gave a wood finish to the kit propeller.

Thanks

Hello Phillip:

Very Nicely done.  This aircraft doesn't seem to be real popular and it is nice to see one finished and you did an outstanding job.  I like how  you applied the lamination in the prop.   

Best
