Thank you all very much indeed for your very kind and positive comments, they are all very much appreciated and certainly make all the effort to produce this build well worth while.
I have built modern Aircraft from the Falklands conflict to supplement my Falklands war diecast collection as it weighed heavily to the Fleet Air Arm side so in my cabinet now sit kit built Etendard, skyhawks, Turbo mentors, Macchi, Pucaras and a repaint and remark of a diecast Canberra to Argentine livery, all in 1/72 scale. I also spent some years building Tamiya AFV's so I have acquired a few basic skills, but nothing can compare to the challenges brought upon by creating one of these lovely aircraft. My first WW1 and Biplane will now sit in pride of place alongside my diecast WW1 collection, in fact to be honest I have cleared out some diecast and dedicated space to just this and my upcoming builds.
I am now totally hooked on WW1 kit building and am already on with my next project, an Albatros D.III 1/48 by Eduard, but this was purchased built to sit in with my diecast but although extremely well packaged it was totally destroyed during shipping, so I now aim to rebuild , repaint, re rig and remark to represent Joachim Von Bertrab's Black ( or is it purple
) mount. I hope to start a new thread shortly for this project.
Thank you once again folks.
