Here are the MGs Rick:





After putting the top wing on they cannot be seen in the pictures...

And here are the pictures of the finished Albatros ...  ehr maybe I should say Hummingbird...

























In Italy we say ... even the cockroach looks handsome to the eyes of his mother... well I know there are a lot of mistakes here but I particularly love this tiny little plane I built to the memory of my friend Pino.

Thanks for watching guys!

Antonio

In English we say "the impossible will be done immediately, miracles take a little longer"! You have performed a little miracle with this one - it looks very good indeed especially given what you started with.

Very nice Albatros in an unusual scale, Antonio. And you can be very proud of your achievement! I followed your build log and I think it would be fair to call that an almost-scratch-build!

Antonio,
    A lot of hard effort and determination justly rewarded, a miracle as Stephen has said! Well done, what is your next project, hopefully something less stressful?! ;)
Cheers,

Hallo Borsos, Lance and all...
You are very kind as usual!

Well my next project is not on WW1, therefore I will post it on a different forum: beyond the sprues, it's a steampunk armoured car, scratch built starting from a Testors "Salt flat racer", not actually a kit, more a blank page...

But soon after I plan to make a French aircraft, I have none in my showcase and this will probably be a Hi-Tech Breguet 14 B2

Ciao

Antonio
