Great decal application, Filip, and those Spandaus look fantastic.
Cheers,
Bud

Grand job on the Spandaus, Filip.  The view from the rear into the
cockpot is gorgeous!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Thanks for dropping in gentlemen! I`ve put it all together. The engine is a beautiful Taurus`s model. I know that one can turn it into a true gem, but my abilities are insuficient to succeed... I`ll try to take better pics when I fix it to the fuselage.  I strongly recommend Taurus`s products they are truly works of art! The figure is Eduard`s RFC pilot modified to look like a German Vizefeldwebel - I`m still working on it; I know it doesn`t look right now...






Best regards
Filip

Your EV looks excellent with the wing mounted! The Engine is Fabulous! Nice work on the Tiny figure conversion, looking forward to your progress.

Hello Fillip:

This is really coming nicely.  You did an outstanding job with the lozenge decals on the fuselage.  I tend to shy away from all decaled fuselages but your work is inspiring.  The upper wing is testimony of your skills and determination.  This is a neat little model and I look forward to seeing you wrap it up.

Best

Wonderful job, Fillip.  You really have made a little masterpiece, my friend.  I think
the engine is a work of art.  Well done!  I look forward to the final photos!

Thanks for all comments they really keep me motivated!
It`s the last update before the presentation in completed models section.
The prop is carved with Part prop boss - some more parts still to be fixed. I hope I didn`t exaggerated with the oil stains on her. Some more tiny bits and she`ll be finished!


Best regards
Filip

   The carved prop is a beautiful touch Filip. As one who does his own as well I have to ask, did you do your own laminating with veneers or was the stock small scale plywood? ??? For 1:48 Scale your detail and finish is excellent!

She's absolutely gorgeous, Filip!  The oil staining looks just right and that prop is brilliant.  Did you have any problems fitting the Taurus engine in the cowling?
Cheers,
Bud

She's a real beauty Filip!  ;D  The cowling and wheels look great.  What paint did you use, and how did you achieve the burnished, weathered look on those parts?  Thanks.

Regards,

Bob
