Oh, haven't noticed this off topic build ::)
What a great Flycatcher, your result is really nice. That is a very cozy type which I don't know before.
Very nice to have another company doing 1/48 models now. And with resin engine (they are doing also a BMW WWI 6-cylinder engine) and PE it looks very complete.

For now I would stick to WWI biplanes, since there are so many kits in my stash.

Thanks for showing this jewel,
Frank

A very clean and sharp presentation of an interesting aircraft.

Best regards,

Bob

Thanks Bob & Frank!

It could be a real competition winner I think - I just wish I could twist Frank’s arm!

The aircraft itself does not do much for me, but that is a very nice looking model!

I would be thrilled with one of your "rush" jobs any day, Guy!  That model looks simply gorgeous to my eyes, and you have photographed it very well.  A very clean and sharp presentation of an interesting aircraft.  Outstanding modeling! 

Best regards,

Bob

Guy,
    Not the prettiest horse in the stable but you've done a wonderful job on the model! I guess what I'm saying is don't display it next to a Demon or Fury! Your efforts have been well rewarded here, it's a beauty, and will stand out well in any display.
    It's nice to take a break from all linen, wire, and PC10 if only for a change in perspective. Nicely done!
Cheers,
Lance
