Another magnificient model - I envy your skills at producing PC10 that is not boring.

Do you have plans to go back to 1/72 scale, or will you stick with the large kits?

Thanks, Stefan.
And who said, that PC10 was boring?  ;)

I plan to build in both scales, intermittently. I am currently working on Roden's 1/72 Albatros D.II (Schaefer). And there are 1/72 Roden's Fokker Dr.I (Raben), MAC's Bristol Scout (Hawker), Toko's Aviatik D.I (Linke-Crawford) in my nearest plans besides 1/32 WNW Roland D.VIa (Kissenberth) and Salmson (post-war Polish). With my current build speed I have enough models till late 2015...

Yes, the H-NABF is the most likely plane. It has been the only one active between 1921 - 1926. The other 3 have been in service for less than a year. And you've got the former registrations correct too. It was taken over from AT&T  ;D (Air Transport and Travel Ltd). But it has had several modifications during its time with the KLM. I'll have to visit the archives to see if there is any documentation left.

Doubtless, it will be a very interesting subject. I wish you all the luck in the archive searching!

BTW, justin1980, these are not Czech markings ;)

I feel like such an idiot, I have no idea why I wrote Czech! :o  My apologies Przemek, schoolboy error, didn't look at what I typed!

Do not worry, Justin. These things happen to everybody. Funny enough, we call such mistakes "Czech mistakes" in my language!

Prez, I'm so glad you posted the link on Rowan's thread.  I can't believe I missed this beauty.  She's absolutely stunning!
Cheers,

Lush Prze,

Particularly like the bungee chord on the gunners station :)

this is one gorgeuos model przemol ,i personally like the dh-9 much more than the 9a. something about the sleek nose. the dh-9a reminds me of the dh-4 too much.you did a wonderful job, i especially like the leather combing and cushions in the cockpit which you made look very real.

Thank you, gentlemen.
Though I thought, that everybody has already seen this model. It is almost one year now, since it was completed  ;)

Guy, the bungee cord is a thin rubber with white textile sheathing - my wife had it in her sewing kit.

ALBATROS1234, I am absolutely agreed with you on this, DH.9a looks ungainly with that massive front radiator, while DH.9 is elegant. If it only was not for that unreliable Puma engine...

Hello Prze!!!

Im discovering this one rather late but nevertheless... It is gorgeous!!! And using my girlfriends words - this plane is so ugly that I actually love how it looks like... polish camouflage suits to it quite well too!!! No need talking about your superb work on it ;)
