Excellent results Paul. Your solution to the upper wing issue worked great!

Great job on a unique subject.  One of my favorites.  I agree with others on the weathering, good looking without over doing it.

Thanks matey (Very tempting to 'just add a little bit more' but always worth stopping before you think it's done, going away and coming back later to have a fresh look - almost always it looks fine) ;D

Nice model, from what I believe is quite a difficult kit. Kudos all round. I especially like the subtle weathering.

Great model. The additional effort on correcting and enhancing the kit bits did truly paid off!

Appreciate that (Probably no worse than any other bipe really, but I can see how the lack of rigging might lure folks into thinking it's an 'easy' build)

Apprecaite that Prze - certainly worth spending a bit of time to add a few bits and pieces  :D

Thanks RVW
Not really difficult, just trickier than you might expect at first - definitely worth a build if you get the chance. (Fellow Furniture van builder David built the wingnut one and told me he was really pleased with it. Unfortunately he built it with the engine access doors open which are rather fragile so sadly it sits at home in his display case. [taking up a great deal of room ;)] )

Not a type that I am very familiar with and I am impressed by its size. You have made a first class job of that one in spite of theissues with the kit.

Cheers Dave (choosing a spinnered version meant I didn't have to do much detail carving around the hub which is always the trickiest bit I find)  ;)

It's certainly a whopper for a two seater (I had a quick compare with a few of the others I've got on the shelf) Parked alongside a DR1 it dwarfs it  ;D

Paul,

A real beauty build of the flying furniture van.  Big clunky plane that look so beautiful when completed.  Excellent work.

Thanks Dennis.
It certainly has a utilitarian beauty and flying furniture van seems a perfect name for it  :) In fact thinking about it several allied fighters were given nicknames at the time, but not too many German or Austro Hungarian ones that I can think of off the top of my head . . . .

A wonderful job!  I have a couple of these in the stash, and I was hoping they might be a quick build because of no rigging, but I see that's a myth!  I'll be coming back to study this some more.

Wonderful weathering as well.
