Keep posting.  One question, how did you get a 3 foot long hand to hold your model.  LOL.  Beautiful job on your 72nd kit.

I know it's been a while since this one was completed, but just thought I would comment - wow! A fantastic build and a wonderful finish, especially the wood work. Bravo!

That is gorgeous! There is something very gemlike about a 1/72 biplane, when done right. This on is done VERY right!

Great wood technique and a real eye-catcher. Rigging is convincingly thin befitting the scale.

Cheers

Excellent work in 1/72 'til you showed the pic of it on your hand, had a bit of disbelief - looks larger !!

Thanks, guys!
Brad, I studied many of your builds to try & figure out how you did things
Unfortunately, I hit a roadblock (both structural & mental) on the next project I worked on: Roden Albatros D.III OEF. Those dreaded cabane struts! I drew them up in CAD, printed several versions as templates, rebuilt them several times & finally lost all motivation. I could never get the fit of all 4 struts to be spot on.

I returned to custom car models & haven't been able to accomplish anything WWI aircraft related since.
