Nice going Nick, your oil leaks look convincing and were typical of the early engines. Looking forward to your next progress photos, keep up the good work.

Hi Nick:

WOW! Great work buddy! You really deserve credit on this one. I know it was a tough build for you, but you persevered and saw it done, and now there it is, a nicely finished product.
Now the BIG question: What's next?

Take care and keep those models coming.

Congratulations. I think you did a very good job. You sure picked a difficult build and stuck to it and it really looks good. I really enjoyed watching you progress through this.

So, as Mark asked, what is next.

Congrats on a wonderful build Nick

You had some troubled areas , but you didn't quit you keeped going and solved the problems finishing with a nice looking model . Very proud of you Nick !

A while back you drop out of the campaign because you felt that you would not be done in time , since there is still a month to go before the two seater campaign is over you can still enter this one if you like .


What will be your next WW1 kit ?
