Rig, it will be a showstopper when you finished ricking ;)

Looking great!
I have the early version, but was really torn between the two. I intend to build mine as a Dutch interned aircraft, and some of the better documented examples were all early ones. This scheme, despite the fact that in can't be called colourful or exotic, somehow appeals to me!

That looks really super Rick. I hope that this is helping to restore your good feelings - it jolly well ought to!

Stephen.

Thanks Stephen. So far this build has been a joy as with all WNW kits. Providing I don't fumble the ball it will be OK even thouygh as always there are some glitches  8)

Wow Rick, this has not taken long at all. Despite that it is looking fantastic. It's good to see you having fun with the hobby after the SE5a. Sorry to be so late to the party, life has been getting in the way for a few weeks.

Richie

Thanks Richie! Life can certainly play a part in our builds, even if retired like Me  ;D

Well done! Speedy as well as well executed.

Thanks Fredrik! I have slowed down just a bit  :o

I dozed off for a moment and now I've opened my eyes again.

And here it is: another great model from the hands of Rick The Master!

I am so glad to see you have your mojo back Rick.


Willem

Thanks Willem! Mojo is good right now!

Thanks Jeroen! The scheme is certainly not exotic although it is somewhat different from the "Normal" German 2 seater scheme. I had to do this one as it fit so Nicely with My 56 squadron collection  8)

That looks fabulous, congratulations.  It must be a real pleasure to build a wingnut kit.  I hope they will make a comeback one day.

Cool stuff, Rick!
Luckily I have this type in my stash (resin in 1/48). If I see your pictures I'm tempted to start it!

Cheers,

wow, i look away for a few days and you've almost finished an awesome looking new build. What a great mojo booster after you got roden'd on the se5. Glad to see you back at it and doing some great work

This is excellent Rick, it's great to see a build coming together so effortlessly. The weathering looks superb already. 😀

Great work, Rick.
Beautilul scheme and great weathering. I love easy builds to push the mojo up again and with this great kit you made a wise choice.
Bye,
