Imperial Japanese Army Otsu-1 (Salmson 2A2) - GASPATCH MODELS 1/48

[vags]

Hi all,

My name is Vangelis (vags) Vassilopoulos, I live in Athens/Greece and have been building model airplanes since 1989. This is my current build, the 117th, that started 3 months ago. The photographs below are conversions from Powerpoint slides that include text and graphics.
I hope you will enjoy them as much as I am enjoying building this magnificent kit so far.

This looks very well done Vags.  Also I like your method of presentation, with the captions on each photo clearly explaining the processes.

[RAGIII]

I agree wholeheartedly with Ian! Great work and the explanations in the photos are terrific!

Hello Vangelis,

very good work so far and really excellent presentation! I received today the same kit and will be tsrating it very soon - I just need to gather some more informaion! Speaking of that, I saw on some pictures scale drawings of the Sasmson, can you please let me know which book is this one? Maybe a Windsock Datafile or maybe something else?
Thank you in advance and greetings from Sofia,
Sasho

Hi Sasho,

I am using these books:

"Salmson 2A2" by Jon Guttman" - WINDSOCK DATAFILE 109
"Salmson Aircraft of World War I" by C.A. Owers, J.S. Guttman, J.J. Davilla - Great War Aircraft in Profile 3

Good luck on you Salmson model and feel free to ask me of anything related to it.

[Pete Nottingham]

Great start vags and a beautiful presentation.

Pete.

Hello Vangelis (famous name!),

Outstanding work, very fine detail and great interior. Your build log is almost as good as the instruction manual from Gaspatch. Very well done.

Kind regards
Patrick
