   As I said on your last entry in Under Construction Rick, superb! Crisp, clean, skillfully finished and fitting illustrations of your considerable talents.
   Is the D.VII Group Build next??
Cheers,
Lance

Congratulations on completing both in such magnificent fashion, Amigo!  This is modeling at it's finest.

Lovely pair of models!  In the "Are they models or are they real" category.  Love what you did with the weathering on the underside of the Snipe.

Inspiring work, Rick!  It is tough to pick a favourite from the two so I will
call it a draw.  If I could come close to your excellence, I would be some 
pleased.  Well done, my friend!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Both are real beauties Rick but after having just competed a German aircraft model, I find that I'm particularly drawn to your Snipe. She doesn't have the graceful lines or colour that your Albatros exhibits, but there's just something about what you've done with her that draws my attention. Could it be that engine oil blow-back I wonder?  ;) Well done on both!

Cheers,

Chris

Hello, Rick -

Superb work on both models, but my favorite out of the two is your Albatros DV - the fuselage wood tone just looks spot on to me.

Well done, mate!
