WnW DFW C.V (late)
« on: August 10, 2014, 12:55:25 PM »
I will be starting a build log of this kit as soon as my kit arrives from NZ, it is in transit at the moment. I have not decided on a scheme yet but will advise you as soon as I have made my mind up. As with all of my builds there will be a comprehensive build log on my website at this link.  http://www.ww1aircraftmodels.com/page50.html

Fantastic choice for your next build, Des!  I ordered the mid-production version and it shipped yesterday, so I should have it by Friday.  I'm really looking forward to what you do with this one.  From what I can glean from the site, it looks to be an awesome kit.
Cheers,
Bud

Thanks Bud, I'm looking forward to building this kit, it's been a while since my last Wingnuts build. I am leaning towards the Gretel scheme, it looks quite good.

That's the scheme I'm drawn to.  It looks cool with the spinner off, showing the nicely detailed backing plate.  I like the Halberstadt scheme, as well.  Can't wait to see what you settle on.
Cheers,
Bud

Will look forward to this, Des.

I like the DFW (A) and Halberstadt schemes. Difficult choice.

Good luck.

Yep, I've made up my mind, I will be doing the Gretel scheme.
I received shipping notice late Friday so hopefully the kit will be on my door step by Wednesday, fingers crossed.

I am very interested in your build, as my C.V (late) is already on it's way to Germany. I have not yet decided if it will be the Gretel scheme ore something else (I don't dare to try the Halberstadt camo, yet), but very likely an Aviatik licence build.


This, like all of your build logs, will be followed closely.

Looking forward to this - as always with Des, his build logs are excellent.

I've ordered the mid-production, because I like the look of the radiators either side of the fuselage, but if it ends up half as well built as Des's I'll be happy.

Pull out a chair for me too as I'll be following along.
