That was your FIRST scratchbuild project Gregory??? Incredible! Both in regards to the subject you chose, and your execution. A mere mortal might have started out with something a little less challenging. I tip my hat to you.
Cheers,
Chris

This is my first WWI aircraft. It`s Smer`s Dh2 in 1:48. I had to scratch build the interior, the gun, I tried to upgrade the engine a little and added some details.

For your first WW1 aircraft model you did a superb job, a very difficult subject to take on, especially the rigging, but you have pulled it of beautifully.

Without a doubt, one of the best SMER builds I have seen - well done!

Cheers mates. I`m thinking about changing wheels, engine and a prop in this model. The problem is I have no spare wheels I could use for this Airco.

Filip,
It's great to see a less than perfect kit turned out so well my the hands of an excellent modeler my friend. Like Paul (Carpo) say's she the finest Smer DH-2 I've seen. Bravo and well done.
Highest Regards,

Fine DH2s here!
Now when my new WNW kit is just flying half around the globe to Poland, I think it is time to show my older DH2, Eduard;s 72nd scaler. This was build when I did not know about shading, weathering, etc. It looks a bit toyish, but still I am proud that I managed to complete it.

Nice hanger of beauties gent's.
PrzemoL, it might not be weathered/shaded , but it's still a nice looking bird.
It's interesting to see how you have progressed with your technique

Nothing toyish about it at all, Prez. Brilliant work on the rigging. Not at all easy in this scale.
Cheers,

You're being much too hard on yourself Prez. This is an exquisite model by any standard, and to think that it's 1/72 scale is absolutely incredible to me.
Cheers,

Przemek it`s an outstanding model. I guess rigging an Airco Dh2 in 72nd scale must be hard as hell. I`ve been thinking about re-rigging, putting a better engine and adding a wooden prop and finally changing wheels in my Airco... there`s another option - buying Eduard`s one.
Once again congrats mate!

Beautiful work Antonio! You've taken a classic kit from our childhood and turned into a gem!
And so small! Thanks for sharing this,
