Peter Plattner, owner/operator of resin kit manufacturer Wiener Modellbau Manufactur, Austria, has sent in a photo feature that he has put together, of The Austro Hungarian WKF D.I. Andy
First Welcome to the Early Aviation title and second WOW! She is a honey of a build. The figure is a modified item? I would be interested in the Part of Poland pieces you used as well. I have several of their frets.. Thirdly I hope you can stay awhile and show us more of your early aviation works? Tell us more about your kits or what you manufacture. Finally Andy thank you for bringing this fine piece to our view. Great stuff!

You are welcome Mr. Lawson! Thank you for you your kind comments about my model. It makes me always happy if someone else likes my work. My aviation modelling is mainly focused on Austro Hungarian Aviation and in the meantime I have a nice collection. The figure on the diorama is sculpted by myself, and is one of three of my kits. With best regards Peter

That's about the best looking wood effect i've ever seen! I suppose using actual wood is good for that. I actually have the Specail Hobby kit for the Loyd CV (nice kit too), but i doubt if i'll be able to get it looking like that one.

Peter, you do lovely work. Hope you continue to post photos of your models. They certainly are inspirational.
