SSW D III early (old Eduard kit)
« on: January 11, 2015, 03:58:19 AM »
The next will be a conversation from the old Eduard kit to an early model.
It is the plane from Lt Joachim von Ziegesar Jasta 15.
Aditional come the engine from Karaya, decals from Aviattic and Pheon.

There are very great drawings in the Jack Harris book Siemens-Schuckert Aircraft of WW I.

Good luck with the build, Martin. It will be a challenge as I found all those years ago, but with your modelling skills I look forward to seeing it progress.

Best wishes
Nigel

Great start! I wish to similarly backdate the 1/32 Roden offering so this will be good to follow!

Nice start, Martin.  I gave up on this one years ago, but it is is fun to build these old school machines once in a while!

Good start on a difficult kit.  I have finished one and given up on one of these old timers.  I can't wait to see how you do with this build.
