Well Amigo, You have created another real beauty here! I am not a big AH fan but your build has certainly opened my Eyes to the Possibilities of varied schemes and Markings! As always with your builds the construction, painting, rigging and weathering are all outstanding! I really enjoyed following your build.

As does Amigo #3 !!!!

Congratulations, Bud! Another gem from your bench, I like the prop, nice colors

Highest regards
Jörg
Many thanks, Jörg!  The laminations were drawn with various brown pencils then an oil wash.
Cheers,
Bud

Lovely Bud!

Looks like you should be in upholstery  ;)

Guy
Thank you, Guy!  Good suggestion.  I swear my grandmother had furniture with a similar pattern.  Hated it.  Refused to sit in it.  Scared the crap outta me.
Cheers,
Bud

Beautiful, Bud! Great work on the swirls and the leaf camo. Those A-H birds must have looked awesome in the real!
Thanks, Przemo!  I love these A-H schemes.
Cheers,
Bud

Beautifully done Bud, great "quick build".   Congrats.
Thanks, Juan!  3 months for what Eduard calls a "weekend edition".  Where did I go wrong?!
Cheers,
Bud

Very nice build!  What's up next?

Charlie
Thank you, Charlie!  I'm hoping to get started on Copper States FK.8 next, but if it doesn't get here soon, I might do Eduard's SE5a in Mannock's markings next.
Cheers,
Bud

Thank you very much, Amigo!  I think that once some A-H aircraft are kitted in 1/32 scale, you'll become a convert.

Your build is a great example of what I really find appealing in these aircraft, and your build looks flawless to me.

Bud,
a very good build, as usual when you put your hands on a kit.
Cool paint scheme. Don't look too long on the wings or you will get hypnotized.

Thank you, Manni!  I think I was hypnotized by this scheme when I first saw it.  Couldn't get it out of my head.  Now I think I'm cured. 
By the way, Carol and I will be cruising past your home on the Rhine in October.  Eight day Rhine cruise with a stop in Cologne. I will wave to the east as we pass Baumberg.
Cheers,
Bud
