Bask in the glory being relinquished from blame!! ;DI was thinking about it!! It is a wild paint job!! I still need a bit of research on the inside and out I suppose but that is all part of the fun!!

Oh, what was that? LOL...the kit supplies a nice resin mold of Voss...pilot! For the contest, not being used to keep this in the Air Category.

There you have it! Time to get busy on building some things!!!

Thanks for tuning in!!!
 
Very nice TRM.
I always liked WWI aircraft, but have not built any in a very long time. Will be watching this.

Thanks guys!! I have been taking advantage of the contest starting adrenaline and cleaned up most of the engine parts and some cockpit parts. Found a couple sinkies in the props, but nothing a little putty won't cure!! With any luck I will have some pics later today.

Thank for hanging out!!! ;)
 
Great choice T. The Encore kits are a nice, good value for what you get in the box. I'm bookmarking this one...
 
Thanks J! You are correct...great kit for the right price! Won't be the last one I get!! Thanks for swing by!
 
If that figure's supposed to sit in the cockpit, he'd be fine for the build.
It's only figures OUTSIDE the craft that would be a problem

But I'm still looking forward to seeing how this turns out
