Przemo, Lance and Patrick thank you for your kindness. 
  Lance, I am pouring over the instruction booklet to try and avoid
any mistakes when the building starts. :D
  Patrick, what a lovely thing to say.  Onward and upward!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Well you certainly brought out the best in the old Academy kit and proved  with a little work *and a few swear words* you can tease a beauty out of the grey sprues and dodgy decals.


You'll love the Pfalz. It's still one of WNW's best kits in my opinion.

Sorry but I have been away for a few days and am catching up. This was one well worth catching up on.... an excellent build of what I understand to be pretty basic kit. I especially admire the finish and the cockpit detailing - many congratulations.

Thank you, for your kind comments, LM. It is a good entry type kit and really
quite enjoyable to build.

Hi Ernie:

Outstanding job on this kit!!  It is not as easy as the contents of the box would indicate.  You did an outstanding job Ernie, great finish, great weathering, interior work is top notch.  Thanks for sharing your work.  If and when I do another one,  I will refer to your build log.

Thanks Mark and Bo.  Your kind comments are heartwarming, coming from such
accomplished modellers as yourself. I feel I am slowly improving, thanks in large
part to the encouragement from everyone here.

Cheers,
Ernie :)
