DFW C.V Late, 1. Eskadra Wielkopolska 1919/1920, Karaya 1/48 scale
« on: February 18, 2016, 01:41:34 PM »
I built this model as a tribute to our dear friend, Przemo, for all he taught me about modeling over the years.  There are several inaccuracies, but I won't point them out.  Some of them must make Przemo's eyes hurt and for that I'm truly sorry.
So, here she is, done at last.  Here's the build log http://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=6393.new;topicseen#new




















Thanks for looking in, my friends, and thank you, Przemo, for the inspiration.
Cheers,
Bud

Bud, I'm truly delighted since I live in Wielkopolska (Great Poland) too - not far from Przemo. I work in a small village, where the first commander of Powstanie Wielkopolskie  (the Great Poland Uprising) Stanisław  Taczak was born. It is the only uprising in Polish history that was successful and the people of Wielkopolska  (I will use the original name) were able to reclaim the whole region from Germans. In the process the Ławica airfield in Poznań was captured along with many German planes among which I believe your DFW. I' ll take a picture of the small museum located in Mieszków that which was started by a group of enthusiasts to commemorate the uprising and post it here if you are interested.
The model is absolutely brilliant - uplease to your usual extremely high standards. Congratulations!

Greetings Bud

Clearly it is not my place to speak on behalf of Prze, but I have no doubt that when he views your success he will feel pride in his "apprentice". In fact, I hope he takes you to task for your excessive humility!   ;D

Personally (and I can speak for me  ;) ) I consider your results to be absolutely outstanding!

So toughen up and build us another, please.  ;D

   An absolute gem Bud and Prze should be very impressed! Your subtle shading, fine detail, and great finish all stand out "in spades", She's a real winner!

That is absolutely gorgeous, Bud. I'm sure Prez will be more than pleased with your tribute, I can see no reason for anyone not to be!

Well Amigo, what can I say. Just outstanding Modeling in My opinion and I agree with all of the others that Przemo will be very pleased with your results! As always your build was both educational and a Joy to follow!

Dear me, Bud. Thank you very much but honestly, I do not feel I have done anything to earn such a tribute. I feel embarassed, as in the matter of fact it is me, who has been learning a lot (if not everything) about WW1 aviation modelling in three subsequent forums from many fellow modellers, you included, for almost 10 years now!
Anyway, I am extremely glad, that you have finished this model to such a spectacular result. Let it be a tribute to General Anders who flew it in the observer cockpit in the winter 1919/1920 and also those men who at the beginning of the uprising in Wielkopolska captured Ławica air station from Germans with many aircraft, this DFW included (as was correctly mentioned by Filip).

Wonderful job, Bud!  If there are inaccuracies in there somewhere,
they are lost on me.  All I see is an absolute gem, my friend!

Cheers,
Ernie :)
