DFW C.V
« on: February 06, 2025, 06:42:59 AM »
WNW DFW C.V (C 2210/18). I based this build on two photographs I found online. Lozenge from Aviattic was cut to fit using the kit parts as templates. Rib tapes from HGW. Fuel cart also from Aviattic and the figures are from Model Cellar and Steve Warrilow.

I shall never forget my admiration for that German pilot, who single handed, fought seven of us for ten minutes. I saw him go into a fairly steep dive and so I continued to watch, and then saw the triplane hit the ground and disappear into a thousand fragments...James McCudden

Lovely job and an interesting scheme. Your presentation is great as always, the figures and fuel cart are a nice addition. I really like the way you weather your aircraft, not over the top but very effective.

Nice one.
A less-often seen kit, brought triumphantly to completion in a great setting.

One of the most important types at the front and so rarely seen as a model.
Thank you for showing this beauty.
