1:32nd scale - Siemens-Schuckert D.III
« on: August 07, 2020, 07:06:37 AM »
Hi all,
Here's the completed Siemens Schuckert D.III (Serial No. 834 to 8359/17) as flown by Ltn. Joachim von Ziegesar when serving with Jasta 15 during May, 1918.
As usual a fully detailed build log, in PDF format, is available to download from my web site (link below),

Super! Just super! Everything about tis model shouts quality! I do like the two figures looking upwards - they add an extremely realistic touch to the model. The metallic finish on the cowling is also excellent.

Lovely rendition of a much maligned kit. It does though take quite a bit of wrestling to achieve results as good as this. Real modelling.
Applause, applause.

I love this plane. And your model is a very good rendition of it. Very very fine all around.
