That's incredible for a flying model, an excellent scale reproduction. I love how you did the camo and markings, and you have a rotating engine as well, very impressive!

Well, thanks to this gorgeous build of your triplane, I've just spent 2 hours going down the rabbit hole you created at your DX Modelworks website.
I have 2-3 of the olde Guillow's kits of WW1 a/c I now want to build as static models and hang from the ceiling...
I've never seen anyone build balsa as beautifully as you do. Truly amazing, remarkable, creative and clever building applications.
