Breathtaking, beautifully done.
I know I won't be alone in coming back to this build thread many, many times when I eventually tackle this wonderful kit.

Thank you indeed!

This is one of your truly stunning and beautiful builds, Przemo! I do love every detail! It is a great lesson in how to tackle a resin kit, too! I have enjoyed following along and learning all the time from a real Master! Regards, Marc

Thank you very much, everybody! I feel overwhelmingly flattered. But after all, what I did - was to put together a finely designed multimedia kit - a great credit is due to Aviattic team for making it possible!

You are far too modest, Przemo!  I just had another peek inside the box and my kit doesn't look anything like this.  It's your sublime craftsmanship that turned this magnificent kit into a masterpiece.  She's truly spectacular, my friend.  Congratulations!
Cheers,
Bud

Hi Prez:

I just read through some of your build, what an accomplishment!  The solution to the rigging dilema is pure brilliance and outstandingly executed.  This is one outstanding model and tribute to your skill and craftsmanship.

[PrzemoL]

Thank you again, Bud, Ed and mguns!

The long wait is finally over. I have just got the brand new Melius Manu decals and immediately applied them to the model.
Aviattic Balilla is now finished! It has been a long but overly enjoyable journey and I think it led to a very fine destination. Aviattic kit is worth every recommendation! Thank you Richard for making it possible, and especially for your efforts to bring to life this important piece of Polish avaition with American background.

A few shots here, and the proper gallery will appear in a couple of days when the base for the model is ready.

For those interested in the replacement Melius Manu decals with squadron badge I also present a photo with original Aviattic decal and the corrected version vs the original shot of Cooper's 16.5 Balilla badge. As rightly put some time ago by Rowan, please note there were fine differences in the appearance of the badge between individual aircraft. What is presented applies to Cooper's mount ONLY. Many thanks Melius Manu for the splendid job - as usual!
