Siemens R I 1/100 Der Kampfflieger

[gomidefilho]

Another rare model from my 1/100 collection. At this time is strange and unique Siemens R I in 1/100 scale



























Size comparations with other planes in same scale (1/100)






With Fokker D VII...





With Nieuport 24...



Look is close to size of PBY Catalina...



With F-100F Super Sabre...

Amazing work 
When I think, I used paper so far only to write letters on it .............

What do you use as rigging wire?
I imagine the rigging on a paper model still extremely difficult.
Too fast is twisted here the wing, I think?

Thank's..

Not easy to fold the wing with wire because have a heavy reinforcement with cardboard. For rigging I use fishing line and cirurgical wire...

What an unusual looking aeroplane, the twin fuselage is certainly an odd feature. You have done a superb job building this model Péricles, the rigging is excellent, hard to believe it is only 1:100 scale.

In papermodelling scene this model is very common (but in plastic I not see any version of Siemens "R") this model is made for Wings of Glory board game, I see many specimen build in 1/144. Beside a complex  rigging is easy model to build.
