Roden 1:32 Siemens Schuckert D.III

Thank you all, George, Iwik, and Des. Iwik, I've referred back to your earlier Build on numerous occasions, it was particularly helpful in determining the final instrument layout. The Aviattic Engine is very finely detailed, I wish I could have done a better job on it but with a little bit of oil and grease to cover my sins it will look just fine I'm sure.
Cheers,
Lance

Very great engines, but I think that the aviattic one looks much better.
An outstanding update to all Lance.
Cheers

Many Thanks Martin. The Aviattic version is much better; I may still go back and replace the Roden push rods as well.
Cheers,
Lance

Nice work all round Lance - it's all coming together extremely well. Those decals look so good I've just bought my first in anticipation 

It's a great subject and I'm looking forward to seeing it all come together

Thank you for the nice words Tug. The decal Sheet is a real winner IMO, I had a heck of a time deciding which scheme I wanted to do!
Cheers,

As always Lance, you're doing a superb job on this project. I have enough challenge building and detailing one engine and here you are building two, just for the fun of it! I bow to the master!

Cheers,

Chris

Thanks for the very kind words Chris. Built 2 engines.....yes, master?..... not, as you can see. I do like the results on the Aviattic version, it should add a lot to the model whether in or beside.....
Cheers,

Hi Lance:

I think the engines turned out great.  I like the finer pushrods on the Aviattic version, but the kit ones don't look too bad either.  The model itself is coming along nicely.  I too am looking forward to seeing it completed.
Until that time

Thanks Mark, the push rods definitely need replacing on the Roden version. I'll be taking a very critical look at that process before I start any "ripping and tearing"!
Cheers,
Lance

Thank you vB. It's going reasonably well thus far and progress will hopefully quicken from this point.

A great build Lance. All the elements are coming together nicely. As one slow builder to another, I look forward to seeing her finished. Even if it takes awhile

Hello Lance,

I am so sorry, but better late than never my friend. I am amazed of the quality you produced, but then again it is the normal high standard and Lance perfection we are used to. The additional modeling work you did is fantastic, the interior is lovely, you did a great job with the pe and the engine is magnificent. A truly amazing and enjoyable to follow build!

Kind regards
Patrick

WOW that engine is very nice. And the rest, just awesome Lance. Beautiful work.

Rob, Patrick, and James,
   Wow, thank you, I must have really "screened" the photos well! Great encouragement and very much appreciated, I'll try to get the next update done sooner this go around!
Cheers,
Lance
