Przemo, did I mention that I really, really, really like your work?
Brilliant stuff, my friend!

Cheers,

Some more...

My friends from Melius Manu did a great job again. The stitching surface detail in my copy of BE2c was almost inexistent on one fuselage half. I decided to remove it totally and thought of using Part PE stitching. But this is too crude. So my ideas moved to decals, Eduard DH.2 in 72nd scale has them quite fine. So I asked Melius Manu for help and they designed something amazing. Thank you, guys!





And I covered the engine



This damned macro photography shows far too much!!!  :(

Prze, are these decals something they're going to offer up for sale, or just a custom run for you?  I have to say, I'd buy these, and any other stitching decals they do in 1/72nd.

I agree with Des! The stitches really look great. I have a 1/32nd SPAD VII to build as a 19 Sq. RFC bird that will need some!

Wow Przemo! There is some beautiful progress there! It's just mind-boggling to me to think it's in 1/72 scale! That fine stitching really adds something... Your modelling is super neat!
All the Best,
Marc

It's a beauty Przemol, and the lid on the engine does not prevent the work you did from being seen. Great!

Best stitching I have seen so far. Truly impressive. And you sell it, Melius Manu, in any scale  :) ?
Great work even without the stitching, it looks like 1:32 or at least 1:48.
Wonderful!

Just catching up - and I am breathless in every respect. The amount of detail that you achieve is simply mind-blowing - I cannot think of a better word or phrase. You certainly set THE standard in this scale.

I've just chanced upon this build log and looked at it over and over. I'm blown away! I bet the boys at Airfix never imagined anyone would ever make such an immaculate model out of their B.E.2c kit.

regards,
Tony.

Many thanks for so much interest and your kind words.

Anybody interested in stitching decals is welcome to contact Melius Manu directly.

And in the meantime...
Undercarriage with rigging done, tail rigging done, main rigging lines glued into their holes. Everything is ready for the upper wing mounting. It is always making me anxious, keep your fingers crossed...
