Knoller C-II from ANSWER (1/33rd) Paper Card Model
« on: August 28, 2024, 02:20:19 PM »
All,

I just finished this one and it went together really, really well.  Highlights include home-made spoke wheels (I'll do better next time) and a cool Schwarzlose rear gun!  I like the jacketless barrel.  Really different.  It's a cool plane with lots of severe wing stagger and neat diagonal struts. The cockpit is so large so you can see all the work you put into it.   Apparently, it wasn't well loved, collapsed often and didn't see combat, but I couldn't resist its unique shape and cool colors.  What a cool machine.  Plus...I have a soft spot for AH aircraft!  ;D  And, after all, modelers are lovers and won't let a little thing like bad press on a machine keep us from building one!

On to the pictures and thanks for looking...Dan

Very nice job on this one, the interior in particular looks fantastic and as you say, it's very visible so well worth the effort.

It is indeed very colourful, it's a pity the colours are spurious but that's the result of another botched museum restoration, nothing to do with your wonderful modelling skills.

It is looking gorgeous. I love watching the paper models of biplanes.

Nice work Dan.  8)
Got a chap in our club who builds paper models and I'm always delighted to see them. It's a different aspect of the hobby that's very underappreciated IMO

Another paper miracle from the master! A completely new type to me but I do like the lines and open cockpit - so I must research this one and add it to my to do list.

Thanks, one and all. 

This one went together quickly and fit very well.  Does look pretty on the shelf.  As Nigel said, it isn't the right coloration but maybe I'll fix that on the next one!

More soon...Dan
