Congratulations on a fantastic build Fredrik, it's been a pleasure to follow the build. I'm wondering what your next project might be, do you have something in mind?

Hi Fredrik,

What a beautiful end result. You can certainly be proud of this model! You have shown that the PC10 / Olive drab on British aircraft doesn't have to be dull. Far from it!

Great detailing and rigging.

Willem

Thank you Willem! I quite like the PC10 actually. Perhaps I could have upped the variations in colour though, but there is more variation than shows in the pictures.

Congratulations on a fantastic build Fredrik, it's been a pleasure to follow the build. I'm wondering what your next project might be, do you have something in mind?

Richie

Thanks for tagging along, Richie!
The next WWI build might be a Swedish version of the Albatros B.II or a couple of Eduard Camels. I'll probably start on one or the other fairly soon, but right now I'm challenging myself with a Blackburn Buccaneer.

This is an absolutely Stunning Build in all respects! One to ne Really Proud of for sure!

Thanks Rick!
You are faultless in your support! There's always a comment for everyone and everywhere on this forum it seems. What an effort and so important in keeping the forum alive! Good luck with the DH2!

Keeping in line with the above I realise that I probably should help keep this excellent place, this forum, alive and post something in the Completed models section. Thanks to all that have tagged along for the ride and it is an excellent model to work with, just so you know! 😃

That is an outstanding build Fredrik - absolute World Class modelling.

I'm sure Copper State would be delighted to see their kit so beautifully made and detailed. Looking through your build reports I had to remind myself this is a 1/48th scale model as its fine detail looked more in place among 1/32 scale models.

This is truly inspirational work and my sincere thanks for sharing it with the Forum.

best regards
