I know that these are 1/32 scale but the amount of detail that you have both managed to get into those models is staggering. Both are top rate without a doubt and how wonderful to see biplanes in silver dope finish. That finish alone would defeat me - congratulations to both of you on excellent builds.

Hello Lance, Tom, LM and Bob,

Thank  you my friends for your generous comments. It is a real joy that the after war schemes are liked like that. But now I think we both will go back to the war schemes. Coming from such great modelers it is really an encouragement to try to equal this build. Of course the WnW engineering helped a lot. Thank you again my friends!

Kind regards
Patrick

Wow, that GB had a 100% success rate!

Two terrific looking Snipes.  That was the first WnW kit I built (first WWI, and first 1/32 scale as well) and I have fond memories.  Really well done!

This pair of Snipes demonstrates what two remarkably talented modellers can do with a near perfect kit.  Spectacular results, Ernie and Patrick.  You both have proven yourselves true artists of the genre.  You both can be quite proud of these beauties.
Cheers,
Bud

These are two lovely late Snipes, and no mistake. Threads like this make me thinking seriously of getting me one of these kits from WNW...
Congratulations, gentlemen, on bringing your little GB to such an end!
