This model has been residing in my stash of Wingnut Wings kits since the time the news about the company demise broke.
It actually never appealed to me very much due to few wings and almost no rigging. But then I decided to buy the kit just in case a will would awake in me to build it. And this Group Build has indeed been a proper trigger.
I plan to build the kit option B, The Baender, the one which is featured in the box art, but with a certain alternative, which will come later as a surprise  ;)

For now, I opened the box, unsealed the sprues, let the fun begin!

Nice choice! I like the corrugated fuselage  ;D

I will be following with great interest! The box art scheme is also the one I would go for with my kit  ;)

I agree Prze. I lack interest in these ?modern? WWI subjects. No doubt that you will spark some interest with your excellent skill though. Looking forward to watching your progress.

The work is begun. Interior parts cut from sprues and cleaned. And the Axial propeller is carved from lovely Kotebi veneers.

Your propeller turned out beautifully - as good as it gets. What a great start to your build, Prze.
Cheers,
