Caudron G.4 Copper State Models 1/48
« on: April 18, 2017, 08:34:58 PM »
So my great adventure with the best kit I`ve built so far is over. I think Edgar and the whole CSM team has done a great job.
My model depicts the G.4 used for artillery spotting in C.74 Franco/Belgian unit. Several modifications have been made such as Chauviere propellers, Colt machine gun, different gun mount. The superb quality decals with cowling numbers and different serial were painted by Melius Manu. As far as I know all these will be available at CSM soon. The colt gun is greatly detailed with a small PE.
The whole building process can be seen in under construction thread: http://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=7789.0

Truly spectacular, Filip!  As Lance stated, one of the best models I've ever seen!  The rigging and pe work, alone, are mind blowing.  Your finish is superb.  Congratulations on a true masterpiece, my friend.

Hello filip,
Well this is the end? What a pitty, it was so sweet to follow you...
Jorgo has ended his work, you did to, i feel alone...
Thanks to be the pionnier, you showed the way.
You did a very nice work and i feel a little bit jalous when i see the final result....
I totally agree with you about this models quality, it is either the best model I ever had in bands...
Edgar said FK8 was better..your next mount perhaps?

Seeing your model, Filip is a pure modeller's joy. You have built a fantastic model. I hope to see it some time in real life. And I also hope to see a model of this aircraft in one of my preferable scales.

You are all way too kind!  I can't thank you enough for your words.
I'm still considering what will be my next kit I'm redoing the rigging on my friend's Gloster Gladiator now...
