1/72 offering from CMK. A little bugger of a kit ,perseverance needed, but worth the effort. Mine was without the rear gunner , Aeroclub off ebay solved that. S/S .004" wire and elastic super fine thread from Uschi for the minimal rigging.Superb p/e gunsites from FotoCut.

Hi Steve

Superb! You should consider submitting this as a frontpage Feature article.

If my effort with the big WNW kit turns out half as nice, I'll be really chuffed...

All the best

Thanks Rowan!
I used my WNW as a reference on the CNK kit. I have extensive ( over 300) pics from the beginning. How would the article be done? Do you mean here on the website? Or?

Hi Steve

Fantastic! And, yes, absolutely here on the website if you're up for it? Just contact Jessie - she'll be delighted to work with you on preparing the article.

All the best

I'm no WWI expert, but I'm guessing that the German Naval Air Service had it's own lozenge pattern? Your work becomes even more impressive when compared to your hand.

Gary & Jesper -Thanks
Gary the WW 1 lozenge patterns are a subject for others to argue about! I went with the kit decals as they were. The decals were the reason for this model.They were ok with some minor probs.
