SE.5a 'Hisso' WNW 1/32
« on: December 24, 2015, 12:11:30 PM »
Hello everyone!!!

So Santa landed here bit earlier and dropped some WNW... alongside of Pfalz D.IIIa and Albatros D.Va landed 'Hisso' that I bought for one particular reason... my wife's grandfather is celebrating 90's birthday next year and SE.5a is his favourite aircraft - I can't think of anything better than little diorama with his favourite aircraft and some figure displayed in glass box with some print (possibly will try to get Ronny Bar and his profile signed from him) that could make a better gift...



Got some aftermarkets from HGW and Gaspatch already and ordered Aviattic linen this morning :) Possibly Drooling Bulldog paint for upper surfaces will be used ;)

Looking forward to share this adventure with all of you!!! :) I know I still have another two projects going on here but I need some WNW love to keep me going :D

Cheerio

That is a lovely gesture Lukas, I'm sure that your wife's Grandfather will be as thrilled as punch to receive this as a gift, looking forward to seeing you start the build. With all your other builds you are going to be a very busy man  :)

Having a reason like this for building the SE5a is wonderful, Lukas. Good luck with it.

Best wishes

That's a nice reason for a new build Lukas - done this twice now for two relations and the pleasure gained from seeing the recipients response is so so gratifying - your grandfather in law will be just the same I'm certain.

although I love photography I hate it reveals all imperfections that don't really matter to our eyes yet I would prefer to get it done clearer... well, I will have to live with it... ;)

That's as good as anyone could get with the instrument panel Lukas, you have done a superb job.
