Des,
    I too shy away from the Resin Kits out there however they seem to have come a long way in the last several years. Your results are inspiring and some of the reviews and comments here regarding the excellent CSM offerings and HPH make a foray into the "world of Resin" very tempting. I'm starting to waver a bit.........
Cheers,
Lance

Beautiful work Des. I missed this for the duration of the build somehow but have now gone over and over it and over it. What a great project with stunning results!!

Thanks Lance for your kind comments. I also shy away from resin kits as I have heard more bad than good about the kits, but I have to admit, the two kits I have built from HPH have been superb, the Macchi M.5 and now the Aviatik Berg D.1, I also built the Alley Cat resin Bristol M.1C which was also an excellent kit. Like you have said, resin kits have come a long way, they still require different building techniques compared to plastic but the end result is pretty much the same.

Des, I'm spechless. That is a very careful and clean build, it is completely unvisible, that this is a resin kit. I have used some resin parts on my models, but I have a big respect (or more to say fear?) for a complete resin kit. There is something like that in my stash, but there is enough plastic around to avoid it. One day ...
You have used that different building techniques in perfection! Also the wood colors and painting is done at highest standards.

Cheers,
Frank

Great result, Des.  I especially like the woodgrain fuse.
All modellers have to deal with mistakes and things that go wrong.  The good ones can correct the problems.
