Eduards Red Baron 1/48
« on: March 24, 2021, 08:27:57 AM »
Well I do have a bit or room to start this one while the Pfalz is going to be a work in progress on and off . Since this is a straight forward kit and one I have built before . It will be out of the box , nothing overly fancy . What inspired this one was Lance's beautiful Fokker and Marc's ...just something about an all red Tri Decker  :)

Blimey Alexis,

Slow down.. you’re making me dizzy  ???

So much so... I was calling my Alexa Alexis last night and wondered why it wasn’t working  :P  ;D

Thanks Lance  :) Step in at any time with your feedback  :)

Guy , stop spinning around in circles and you won't be dizzy  ;) :) Works wonders and I speak with experience  ;D
Now what do you mean slow down ???
However , are you all right ? You seem to be getting folks names mixed up !!!

Looking forward to seeing this one come together Alexis. There does seem to be a swarm of trideckers at the moment.

Danke Frank und Stephen  :)

I had some time today to get started on this . All parts are freed and ready for clean up starting with the cockpit parts . I did break one of the seat supports while removing it  ::)

The frame work I'm going to follow everyone else and go with black . I really like how it contrast against the wood and linen  :)

Excellent start, Alexis. That's a cool kit, and does include the little Pour le Merit badge, which you can wear whilst building it  :)
Cheers,
Gary

Alexis,
It's good to see you dive into another WWI build. I haven't had much time for modeling lately.
I'll enjoy the hobby through your build.

This project gets my 100% approval, of course, Alexis! So glad Rick and I got you going on this! I remember building this kit quite a few years ago as a club "Speed build" and I found it easy and well detailed, but I remember breaking those seat supports too! As we all say, you can never have too many red triplanes! Does it come with PE? Regards, Marc.
