Modelling World War 1

Thanks for the comments Kevin.

I agree with Kevin, but anymore would be too much. I'm going to have the same problem with my present build. I know it should be dirty, how dirty, I'm not sure yet.

You may feel differently when you see it in the flesh, so to speak.

Here is the 1/48th scale  Airco DH2 from SMER.
Not bad for 3.99 really.
It has been waiting to be completed for some time.

That is a very nice finish Zak. I know the model and you have done wonders with it!

Well done Sir!, an example of a great modeller doing a great job with a below average kit, compared to more modern tooling's.
Love the rigging, you masochist you!
Cheers,
Bigkev

I have the Eduard one to build at some stage, it will be interesting to see how they compare.

This is the Eduard Sopwith baby Seaplane that I was working on some time ago, I have eventually got around to finishing it.
The decals transfers were poor and alternatives were used.
I am trying to finish all those half started and never finished projects that are lurking around.

Hi Zak,
Modelling WWI is a great thread. Like the Sopwith Baby. Question is............. When you get to 100,000 views are you officially the Club Dinosaur???
Ha, Ha,

Already it, I think.

Marvelous work Zak, right up my tree. I am impressed with what you have done with the SMER kit as I know from personal experience how shabby they are. Well done the master!!!

Here is the 1/48 Eduard Airco DH-2, weekend edition, so no etched brass.
A much finer and better kit than the SMER one. I include a photo of the two together.

The difference is noticeable, but both superbly build.

Very nice builds, most impressed.
