Yes!  A Buzzard!  And so beautifully done.  Excellent addition to your rapidly growing collection, Squiffy.
Cheers,

Looks great, Squiffy.  How many in the collection (as of now... I realize that is a moving number)?

It was different, I will say that much! Just because there's no rigging doesn't mean it was an easy build.  :o

Funny you should mention that. I'm just putting the finishing touches to to Choroszy L.V.G. C.V. It's only the second resin aircraft that I've attempted.

I would say it is reasonably detailed but probably not as detailed as an equivalent plastic injection-moulded kit would be. One thing I did find is that there are no holes, dimples, or anything else to locate the cabane struts on the fuselage and I also found it impossible to fit these with the forward-firing machine gun fitted, or to fit the gun after the struts. Therefore my model is without a forward-firing gun.  :(

Here it is:
