Today I began with this kit.
Most of the parts cut from the sprue, sand and make holes.

The propeller will be make from another one.
The undercarriage axle will be make new.
The parts to be clean needs many hours.
I dont know until yet if some new parts ( MG, engine and other) will make inside.
Here the first photos.

I have decided, some more details made inside the fuselage. It will be the engine, machine gun and some more in the Cockpit.

Hello Martin:

It looks like you have a plan of action and will be following that.  Not too many parts, looking forward to seeing you tackle this 'beast'.

Best

I'm looking forward to this build, Martin!  This is probably the only 1/48 scale WWI kit I don't have.  I've seen it a number of times on ebay, but I just can't bring myself to pull the trigger.  It's just so weird looking.  Kinda cartoonish.  Your build might just be what it takes for me to take the leap.
Cheers,
Bud
