Hello Mike:

Looks mighty fine.  The weathering makes it stand out as does your engine work.  Outstanding work.

Best

Thank you for the kind comments guys. She is not a contest winner, but looks OK in the end . I think we are all our own worst critics, but I'm basically happy with this one.
 Michael, I have my USMC DH-9a to finish, and I acquired a started Albie DV that needs an engine and finishing. I found a nice Jasta 18 bird with a red/white paint scheme and black Raven. I'm thinking on doing the two engines together sort of, but the DH needs to be finished.

Pretty impressive Mike - I'm also relieved to see someone else with a desk in the same state as mine!

OK a few snaps of the completed Junkers J-1. I learned a huge amount on this build, and tried some new stuff.

Very nice indeed! You've done a magnificent job here. The overall finish looks nice and subdued. I have to admit that I had no interest in this kit until Des told me that it's a great candidate for another foray into the hairspray technique, what with those thick leading edges and all of that corrugated metal.

Cheers,

Chris
