Dual build: 43 Sq. Snipe and Jasta 6 Albatros

[RAGIII]

Both top notch! I love the colour you've got on the Albatros fuselage - perfect!

Thank you very much for your comment, as always greatly appreciated!

Two gorgeous looking models Rick both finished perfectly, well done on a superb job.

Des.

Thanks Des, Not perfect but I am pleased with both.

   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

Lance, your comments are greatly appreciated. I am glad you have followed the build! Your Nieuport has me wishing I wasn't committed to a couple of DVIIs

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.

Stuart

Stuart, having seen your work I do appreciate your kind comments!

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

Ernie,
I truly appreciate all of the support you offer to my processes! You are a stalwart on the site and don't appreciate your own talent enough!

Beautiful job on both builds Rick , your snipe is very impressive !



Terri

Thanks T! I think like you, between the two I like the Snipe the best. 
RAGIII

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

Chris, you have become a fantastic WW1 modeler in a very short time frame! I really appreciate the comments. Like you, I have a preference for the Snipe build! That oil staining was blatantly stolen from someone else's  build of a Snipe or Pup, old age prevents me from remembering whose build it was a month or two ago, or maybe it is the Beer 
RAGIII

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!

Regards

Dave

Thanks Dave, I appreciate your comments and following of my builds through the various stages!

Congrats on two excellent models Rick. Way to put an exclamation point on your Featured Modeller status. Well done.

Nicely done Rick.

Some of the others have mentioned the wood colour on the Albatros, I like it too. Pretty much how I would picture an Albatros. Love the Snipe too.
And congrats on being modeller of the month.

Thanks Bo! I greatly appreciate your comments! I also appreciate your constant excellence in detailing. You give us all Ideas and even though I may never attain your level, I can incorporate a few things here and there

Hello Rick,

Two extremely nice and wonderful builded models. I couldn't say which one I like most. Both have been so nice to see come together and have particular highlights. Thank you for the tremendous build log. No wonder you are "Modeller of the month" and so well deserved. Many congratulations my friend!

Kind regards,

Excellent builds especially doing them both at the same time! That Snipe looks great in particular with the more complicated double-bay rigging pulled off so well

[xmald]

Absolutely great models! The weathering is first class Rick. I admire an ability to work on two models at the same time with as high quality of work as yours!

[Dwaynewilly]

Rick,

Excellent indeed!

Both are superb models! I'm not big on the German types in particular, but your Albatros is very well done.
