This is the first presentation of one of my models here.
I had finished the model already in June.
The kit is the profi-pack from Eduard build oob - ok i have replaced the kit-engine with the Gnome Monosoupape 9B-2 (100 hp) Engine from small stuff models.
The kit is good detailed and is significantly enhanced by the enclosed etching parts, but I would recommend him rather for advanced modelers, particularly because of the Rigging.
Now - here the pictures.

Wow Lutz!
The rigging looks fantastic! I would fail with that even in my scale. The scene also looks nice. Well done my friend!

Superb work!
I wasn't even aware that Eduard made one of these at 1/72. I'm currently working on the old Revell DH.2 with a few improvements from the spares box. It will be no where near as good as yours.
Looking forward to seeing more.

Hi Torsten,
i hope you can have a look at the original in Markkleeberg next year .

Hi Stephen,
i suggest you, try to find an Eduard-kit - you will have more fun and get a better result

Oh, that's pretty. I want that for a feature article! Did you take any photos during the building?

Lutz,
Just an excellent build not even considering it's no less 1/72 scale, which makes it all that much more of an outstanding effort. But your rigging is truly amazing by any set of standards.

Lutz,
I forgot to mention that your photography is excellent. I really like the sepia effect and black borders of the 1st photograph. It just makes a special build, that much more special.
