Thanks guy's. I've now got the top wing fitted, just a few more things to do, then I can call it done.

A great result mate

 

[Steve Jones]

Your a brave man to destroy a great build. However the end result is unique and stunning. Luv it a lot. Looking forward to seeing the final reveal

 

[colin m]

It's amazing how your mind works. What a great result. So unique.

 

[papa 695]

Just about got this completed, I'm just awaiting a gold Poppy broach to put onto the top left hand corner. But here's some pictures to look at while I wait.

Hi Ian
That is an excellent and unique result. A real silk purse from the sow's ear you started from.

That really is a piece of art. To add that bit of colour into a grey, dark sombre build is a stroke of genius. It reminds me of the girl in the red coat in Schindlers List. A wonderful tribute to all those flying heroes of WWI. You must be very pleased:thumb2:

Thanks Steve, I did get the idea from the film, and like you said I did enjoy this build and I'm rather pleased with the outcome.

Neat :thumb2:

 

[Tim Marlow]

Really inventive and flawlessly executed. Absolutely love the display idea.

 

[Guest]

It's only a bit of rigging.

Yeah. Dead easy!
Over before you know it.

This is going to be my kit for this GB. I think it's going to take some work to get what I want out of it.

One of my favourite aircraft.
Ended the Fokker Scourge, along with the wonderful Nieuport 11.
An aeromotive icon for certain.
Good luck with this one. Treat it like creative meditation; it's all about being in the right state of mind...

Forgot the FE2. That also did sterling work in 1916.
My apologies to the RFC.
