Hello, Sean -

Can't see anything from from this build, mate - looks excellent.

Was this an involved kit to put together?

Regards

Beautiful Sean!!! She's a perfect bomber indeed!! You have inspired me greatly to attempt my Gotha sometime soon.. and I'm building one of those Roden 1/72 scale Gothas!!!

Wonderful work there, and impressive for your 2nd WW I aeroplane..!!!!

Thanks for the info Sean, I wasn't worried about the authenticity of the colour, it just thought it looked like an interesting shade, one I'd like to try and replicate.

I'm looking forward to seeing your next build.

Best Regards

Thankyou all.
Dean I'm glad to give you a boost along mate, get stuck into it. The model really was very easy to construct and rig. The only thing I've found hard to cope with is the size of the model . It was very difficult to move around on the work bench and because of the sheer length of the wing span there is alot of slop in the wings. You really do need to have a large space to display the finished model,luckly mine will be displayed at the Local RSL here in Mildura.
Dave The model does require alot of patience to build because of the amount of parts but if you take your time with it and study the Instructions very carefully it goes together very nicely. I did find however that every part that requires a locating pin to join it needed to be drilled slightly oversize to get a perfect fit. I think this has been a thing with wingnut kits from the start but not an issue to me.

Thanks Keith Yeah the truth is I really was a bit concerned with the color but I went with it in the end. I made the mistake of gluing the tank to the wing,the more I look at it the more used to it I get!  ;D
Mate I've had a good look at some of your work and I have to say your one of the guys here that I could really learn from your work is outstanding! But don't get a big head will you!! ;)
