Henri Farman HF-27 'Steel Farman', 1/72 --- Finished Yesterday

[Old Man]

Really delightful to behold!! And more inspiration for a scratch-build!!

Cheers from NYC,
Michael

Thank you, Sir.

I hope you try and tackle one. I have always maintained scratch-building is more a question of nerve than skill; if you have the nerve, the skill will come. Getting something not quite right first go is not like messing up parts of a kit, after all --- you can always make another one. This is my twelfth, and I am still finding ways t do things better, and looking at pieces or assemblies and deciding I better do it over. This one was unusual in being done under time pressure, and so does contain a few things I would have done over had I not had a deadline looming close.

Wonderful build of a very elegant aircraft,inspirational OM Bravo!

Thank you, Sir.

Glad you like it. 'Elegant' sits a little strange to me for this one, I view it as a pretty angular, by the yard effort. I do like the color, though I wish I were absolutely sure it is correct....

[Old Man]

An exellent work OM.

Thank you, Sir.

I was glad to get it done, by the end there....

[Old Man]

As noted, I did get this one completed.

I will be doing a proper write up in R.F.I. next week.

Here is a sample picture....

Congratulations on a superb construction and excellent model. I have been following this over the last weeks and I'm always impressed by scratch builds, especially in 1:72 and achieving this high level of quality and detail.
