Evening All,

Here are some images of the completed model of the FE 2b - build details in scratchbuild section of this site.











Thanks for looking but please do not scrutinise these too closely or you will see all of the mistakes.

This model turned out beautiful LM, all your efforts certainly paid off resulting in a stunning model and what makes it even better is the scale, congratulations and well done.

   You've done wonders with this Build Lm, and doubly so given the scale. I can't imagine which mistakes you are referring to; in this scale I'd never be able to find them anyway. Great work!
Cheers,
Lance

Hi LM.

What a lovely Fee it turned out to be. You're quite of a skilled modeler, it's not easy to achieve what you´ve done in such a small scale.

There's no mistake that can overlap the final result. You're a true modeler... i'm just a guy that glue the pieces together.

Well done.

Cheers

Gentlemen, I can only say thank you for the very kind compliments from a group that I consider contains some of the finest and most skilled modellers that I have ever come across. WNW this most certainly is not (wrong scale for a start), but then I only wanted to construct a model that looked like a Fee.

I have been hooked on conversions/scratchbuilds for a long time now and I have to admit that I find them more satisfying than assembling even the best kits - in part because I lack the artistic skills to achieve finishes when it comes to weathering. Pushers are not as difficult as some think them to be - a couple of simple tricks and they go together much like any other multi-winged model. I am currently researching and starting to make the next one which I will post on this site when I have something to show. This will be a much less well known aeroplane - the Sopwith Admiralty Type 806 Gunbus.

LM, I'm looking forward to your build of the Gunbus.  If it turns out as
beautiful as the Fee, it will be a very handsome model indeed!  Enjoy
the project, my friend.

Cheers,
Ernie :)
