I sizned up for the Acutr Campaign where you scratch build your project or some of it .
Since the aircraft I will be doing is early avaition the build log will be done here .

The subject ....................Sierra Scale Models of the Aviatik - Berg D.I in 48 scale kit number 48002 . Now I don't have all of the kit . The only parts I have are the two fuselage sides main wings and tail parts . I will try and do everything else , or that's my plan anyway .For ref's on this project I will be using the Windsock data file #45 .And a few stuff for some helpful members .

pic's will be coming soon ..............................

Thanks Stephen ! I have a year to do the build so I don't have to rush at it . Still have to figure out what to do about the engine , it needs one ! Which i don't have . Was planning on casting the Flashback kit , but to be honest it's a very poor choice . I'm looking forward to doing the fuselage in a wood grain . I'm sorry but the lozenge for these aircraft is very ugly !
