Halberstadt Cl.II, Mirage 1/48

[PrzemoL]

Spectacular results, Frank. I like very much the fine shading, the splatter camo and the striking markings. And bearing in mind that it is not WNW but Mirage kit makes my awe very much higher! Congratulations on this amazing build.

I can only echo all deserved compliments on this. If looking without warnings it's impossible to tell this is not the WNW and a very well executed and finished one and the build log was a great pleasure to follow.

Frank -

What superb work on your Halberstadt - I actually thought is was larger scale than is so well done!

Thank you PrzemoL, Giuseppe and Dave!

If looking without warnings it's impossible to tell this is not the WNW

That was my target in this project to come very close to the famous WNW.
That is not the flawless perfect model what we always want have, but this time I'm very close.

It's just an absolute pity that you can see almost nothing of the beautiful brass tank, but we do have the build report

Cheers,
Frank

Hiya Frank, I hope you are well old friend. I see you haven't lost your magic touch in the time I've been off radar. This is a really beautiful model as always, what a great scheme too!

Hey Richie, welcome back!
Many thanks for your nice words. Oh yes, the scheme is great and to build this biplane was a very special journey.

Cheers,
Frank

Fantastic build Frank. The paintjob wasn't the easiest one but you did a real great job.

Thank you Ferry! This machine is currently my favourite in the cabinet

On last weekend I visited the Euro Model Expo 2022 in Lingen which is the biggest model exhibition in Germany.
Since it was my first time, I had full freedom in choosing some of my models for the competition

The Halberstadt CL.II won a gold medal in the category aircraft in scale 1:48 Master class (there was in each category Beginner, Standard and Master) at the Euro Model Expo 2022 in Lingen.
Here together with my other medals.


I have two gold medals in the same category. According to the written jury instructions (which could be viewed on the internet beforehand), the candidates were to be re-evaluated in the case of identical points, but as far as I know the jury did not feel able to do this and reported back in this way, so a total of 3 models in 1:48 were awarded gold here.

It makes me very happy to have won three gold medals in the Master class

Cheers,
Frank
