What a lovely little model Frank! It turned out so colourful and your skillful touch makes the model just.... real! Well done! Marc.

Oh, some more friends discovered this thread - thank you Marc, Guy and Manni!
I have more Kondor aircraft types in my stash, but the used engines are not available (yet), so I need to wait or use the kit provided engines.

Cheers,
Frank

That is beautiful work Frank and a real treasure. I love the distinctive shape of the aircraft and the lozenge scheme looks fantastic. What a great model!

I’ve only tackled and finished two Spin kits and they certainly aren’t the easiest builds. Yours turned out beautifully done.  One thing is certain we aren’t buying their kits for the artwork on the boxes.

Thank you Dave and Charlie for your very nice comments!

I’ve only tackled and finished two Spin kits and they certainly aren’t the easiest builds.

This was only my second complete resin build at all, beside some conversation kits - all from Spin so far. But more to come, also from other companies, e.g. Planet Models or Karaya.

One thing is certain we aren’t buying their kits for the artwork on the boxes.

Oh yes, but this effects only collectors Once build, I don't care about the box - the content is more important.

Cheers,
Frank

Here too are the new pictures!
I would have liked to have had a few more clouds, but you have to be satisfied if it's dry this August











Happy modeling!

Cheers,
Frank

It looks even better in the outdoor photos Frank. Are you sure you didn't photograph a real replica at an aerodrome?

A completely new dimension of presenting your great models,keep on taking new photos.

You can have as many clouds as you wish here Frank - a bit of blue sky would not go amiss here!

The outdoor photos are stunning - as Richie has commented, they could be mistaken for a modern full-scale replica on an aerodrome.

I'm glad that you like the pics!

Are you sure you didn't photograph a real replica at an aerodrome? 

Mission accomplished! That is the impression I wanted to achieve.
With the Triplane and Dolphin I tried this on the balcony and the result was not that bad but the trees looks much to big since I'm very limited in angles (to avoid modern structures on a biplane picture). That was the reason for the new setup.

A completely new dimension of presenting your great models,keep on taking new photos.

More just posted

Oh yes Stephen, such pictures would not be possible now due to heavy rain the last days. It would wash the decals from the models

Cheers,
Frank

Wow, Frank!  It looks ready to take up for a spin.  Again...looks great outside!
