After I finished my entry in the Russian GB I felt a urge to do another WWI plane. After a quick look in the stash I decided that this is going to be my next build. And inside the box (sorry for the bad pics) Seems to be a nice kit, a bit more detailed than the other Eduard WWI planes I've built. The rigging also is a bit more complicated due to the amount of wing struts, and then there's the checkered paint scheme, all in all I think this will be quite a challenge but if I pull it off it should result in a nice looking model. Just started the cockpit and there will be a couple nights of work until I've got something interesting to show. Thanks for looking! __________________ Daniel

Hi, only got a few hours here and there by the bench, but now I'm to close the fuselage halves. All the interior parts ready for assembly. And with the halves together and at an extreme close range and illuminated with a led light this is what you see of those hours of work , and that's without the rear gun mount, but hey, I know it's all there Thanks for looking! __________________ Daniel

Thanks a lot guys! Worked a bit more on the wings, and the fuselage, just have some minor gaps to fill and sand to get it seamless then it's ready for some primer and the checkered paintwork. Lots of masking involved, could be interesting!? __________________ Daniel
