Just a beautiful piece of work there Mark, just exquisite, really! Enjoyed looking, someday I will start some WWI aircraft myself in that scale, when I get motivated enough. Russell

Beautiful work.
A second, part-build with the insides showing, would look great alongside.
How DID you do those fuselage formers?

Hi Alfredo,

The pieces are from the "Part of Poland" photo etch set, painted Tamiya Desert Yellow then applied with burnt umber oil paint for the wood grain.

Thanks,
Mark

Lovely work.
I've recently picked up Roden's 1:72 Alb. DII. Really nice kits if a little heavy on the flash. Its only the third biplane I have attempted and with a little luck should come out half as good as yours!

By the way 6.12.12
