More first class scratch building of a really interesting but little known type.

Hello,

Stencil painting made with masking strips.

It's not perfect...

Those rib shadows look good enough to me - remember they are representing shadows so the outlines should be a little uneven. In any event the scratch build is excellent and of an unusual type - that alone is sufficient to catch my eye.

Hello Stephen,

The previous photo is confusing. The wings are not glued, there is still work to detail the fuselage.





A bientôt!

Your build is really moving along now. The ribs and markings showing through the linen look terrific! Lovely little aircraft.

Hello everyone,

After a very long break, the Germania JM is back!

It has been stripped since last time.

At present, the wings have been fixed and rigged.



There were still quite a few parts to build and fix.

See you soon

Arnaud :)

It's nice to see you back Arnaud, and though this is not 'my' scale this is a very interesting subject and I will follow with interest.
Great work so far!

I agree with the others: good to see this one being completed. A very high standard of scratch building here - just love it!

Beautiful, Arnaud!

I'm slowly catching up with many of the more interesting older threads here on the Forum, and this one is one I'd missed until today. By some weird coincidence (or synchronicity, as Jung would call it!) my oldest son and I went to a hobby shop in Hartford, Connecticut on Saturday, where he fell in love with the old Meikraft kit of the Lloyd 40.15 and bought it. Neither of us had ever even heard of such an aircraft... he hasn't done any modeling since he was around 12 or 13 (he's 37 now!) but his stash of WWI kits is larger than mine, and he plans on starting again "someday..."

Is yours from the Meikraft kit? It's a fascinating aeroplane, in either case!
