Eduard 1/48 Oeffag D.II conversion

[lcarroll]

The more I return to this Thread the more I like this Build you've got going Bud. The "plain" scheme is very attractive, she's a real beauty. As Steve alluded to, sure wish we'd get a 1/32 Kit on the Market for the Old Folks like me to tackle; great machine with endless great schemes. I'm sure Rowan would be all over this one real quick as they'd be flying off the shelves!

Thanks, Lance!  The Oeffag D.III is a very popular plane among modelers.  I'm sure the folks at WNW are aware of that.  It couldn't hurt to flood them with emails re the subject just to nudge them along a bit.
Cheers,
Bud

All done.  Tomorrow, when the sun's up and the rain has stopped, I'll take a few more photos in decent lighting and post them in the appropriate section for stuff that's done.

Thanks, all, for helping me to break on through to the other side.
Cheers,
Bud

Thanks, Red!  Yeah, I'll definitely use them again.  Good stuff and easy to use.
Cheers,
Bud

She looks beautiful Bud, the wood decals are excellent as are the rest of the decals, a superb job, well done.

Superb! Congratulations, Bud. I bet she would look striking next to your recent N11.

Looks really good!
48 is really rare now among those WNW planes, so can not wait for the gallery.

Simply beautiful Bud!   Looks like the sun coming up on a snow-covered field with the real deal!    Excellent.  Thanks for sharing this one with us.   The wood grain decals are quite convincing.

That's a pearler, Bud.  I like the scheme you chose too- it's quintessential "WWI", isn't it?

Cheers.

Superb craftsmanship Bud! You've created a real beauty. I'm particularly drawn to the variations in the woodgrain. You have a real talent for this modelling gig!

Cheers,

Bud -

Superb! 

worth the wait to see the end result.  What great conversion workmanship too.   1/48 scale really does seem to be your forte regarding model building.   Love the look of those wood grain effect decals as well.

What's next on your work bench?  Do you have any 1/32 kits in your stash, mate?

Regards

Dave

Thank you very much, guys!  All your encouragement helped push me through to the end on this one.
Yes, Dave, I've got 4 WNW kits, the Ninak, Early Fee, Junkers J.1 and the LVG.  I've also got the Roden 1/32 scale Nieuport 27, which I would like to trade for something in 1/48 scale, but no one wants it.  The Ninak and Fee were gifts from my beloved bride, the Junkers was a model contest prize at the last OTF convention and the LVG was a very lucky trade.  I will eventually get around to building those.  Have to build the Ninak and the Fee or my wife will never buy me another model.  I won the Nie. 27 in a Roden Group Build on another site.  I have a good stash of 1/48 Nieuports, so I don't need that one.  I reckon that covers my 1/32 stuff.  One of these days.  Maybe.
Cheers,
Bud
