What can I add at this late stage? Nothing that has not already been written I fear. It is a gorgeous model and I for one would have been proud to have completed it.

My old friend she's absolutely drop dead gorgeous. As always your Master Level skills and craftsmanship shine brightly. Well Done and congratulations.
Highest Regards,

Awesome build, Bud! One more in my stash that I'm inspired to build by admiring your work.

Thank you all for your kind remarks, my friends.  I'm flattered.

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.

I would love that, Filip!

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).

Thanks, Przemo!  We've all come a long way since those days on the 'drome, haven't we.

Hey Bud,
Truly a nice build, will you bring her up to Silverwings on Saturday?
Gabe

I took her to Silver Wings, but you weren't there!  I missed you, buddy.  This one didn't place.  I took first with my Rumpler C.I, second with my Macchi M-5 and Bob Zelnick(sp?) took third with his 1/72 scale Oeffag D.III.

Awesome build, Bud! One more in my stash that I'm inspired to build by admiring your work.
Cheers,
Gary

Well, haul it out and build it, Gary!  I'd love to see it.

Again, thanks to you all.
Cheers,
Bud

That is so much true, Bud!

BTW, sincere congratulations on the trophies you have won.

Had you not said, I would have assumed this was the work of Prez at first glance, Bud!

Excellent work as usual and I for one, cannot see any flaws.

This is a compliment to my model, Dave!

[coyotemagic]

This is a great model and I don't know what inaccuracies you are talking about Bud!

Best regards,
Sasho

Thank you, Sasho!  But since you mentioned inaccuracies, I will list just a few:
1) The port side national insignia are reversed.
2) The cowling access ports are all wrong and I didn't bother to correct them.
3) No DFW emblem on the cowling.
4) ...and so on, and so forth.  Etc., etc., etc.

Cheers,
Bud

[coyotemagic]

Thank you, Stefan, Dave and Przemo!  You are all very generous!

Lovely Bud - and good to see these Polish stories being told...

Best wishes, Richard

Thanks so much, Richard.  You'll be seeing more Polish stories once that lovely Ansaldo is released!
Cheers,
Bud
