Love the aeroplane Mark, but you could have perched her on a better base...
now my wife wants all of mine on doilies too.

Cheers,
Ernie

Thanks Ernie:  I knew I should have taken the doilie off the table!      I will have to come up with a better background for photo's.

Excellent modelling - I am very impressed by your skill, especially the painting. An unusual subject in unusual markings but still a little gem.

Hello Lone Modeller:

Thanks for the compliments and stopping by.  It is a neat little model.  I am almost ready to attempt the Albert Ball Nie 16, complete with Rockets!

Best wishes for the New Year

Very nice, Nupe. And I would also call for a uniform background for the shots!

Beautiful work, I love the scheme and the expert shading which really brings it out.
Good to see an Italian machine represented too, from a part of the war which gets a little neglected I feel

Cheers

Thanks Prez, Mark and Des for stopping by. 

@ Prez:  Boy you know it about my backgrounds.  I have to do something about my pictures, doilies just don't cut it do they?    I will work on improving my photos in 2014.
@ Mark:  I wish there were more markings for the Italian and Belgian a/c.  Really some neat schemes out there.

@ Des:  I think I got this either from Mike Taylor or Squadron.  I am thinking it was Mike Taylor at Mr. Kit I think it is.  There is always eBay.

Thanks again folks.
