The mistakes? Do not you see them, gentlemen? Well, the wood for A-H aircraft is a quarter tone too orange, J.4 decal is 0.001mm too far aft, the coats of arms on the rudder are misplaced, port to starboard and vice versa, and the exhaust pipes have too thin walls!!!  :D

Bud, it is a lovely build all around. If you see any mistakes it is fine, everybody building models should see some in one's even best model. This is a good sign, we can always progress! The point is to build better and better. And this is surely one of your best models.
I like Phonix D.I lines, contrary to what others may say. I have already built one in A-H army colours, but this Navy livery makes me want to build one more - in the near future!

Gentlemen, you are far too kind.  Thank you all.  Prez, I figured if anyone could spot the flaws, you could.  Good eye, mate! ;)
Cheers,
Bud

Terrific work, Bud -

I personally cannot spot the mistakes - all looks built to your usual high standard in fact.

What next on the workbench - how about one of the WNW kits in your stash - a change of scale is as good as a rest!!!

Thanks, Dave!  I just started a Roden 1/48 Fokker D.VII for a group build on another site.  That one shouldn't take too long, and as soon as Rowan's Snipe decals reach me, I'll be starting my first 1/32 scale project.  I'm all tingly at the prospect.
Cheers,
Bud

Lovely Bud!

Although I should point out that that shade of pink pig wasn't used until 1919..

Damn!  I knew it!  I'll make a note to never again rely on my grand daughter's research.  Thanks, Guy!  Between you and Prez, a fella can't get away with anything.

thats one clean phonix, we are always hard or ourselves for the slight imperfections. the only one i can even see is the one you mentioned with the turnbuckles and honestly prolly wouldnt notice without your prompt. i think she looks great. i really like the wood, the fabric effect and shading etc. it looks damn nice to me.

Thanks, Scott!  I consider this one a training exercise. ;)
