@a380flightsimx

Thanks. Rolling those jackets was not easy but I agree,the photo-etch is a nice touch.

@PlasticoForEvah What color did you use?

[BasicModelling]

Great video and model :) I've built the Sopwith F-1 Camel and a few other WW1 aircraft but I would quite like to build a few more. I haven't built this kit so this might be my next :) Awesome end result!

@2002And

Thanks :o)

WWI models are great fun, rigging can be a bit tricky but the final model is (usually) worth the effort !

You can´t go wrong with this kit, it´s easy to put together and with some work it will be a nice addition to your collection.

[2002And]

@PlasticoForEvah No problem :) I definitely will but it then! :)

@MegaAirsoft97

Thanks! this is a great little kit and it´s also really cheap so go get one. Oh and it´s a well-known fact that every aircraft modeler must have a red triplane in his collection, so there is no excuse not to have one !

Brilliant model, but the tires sholdn't be black? I like the propellor and guns. Great work it is like real.

@tankman13p66

Thanks tankman! I also liked how the propeller came out ;o) regarding your question, as I understand it, the tires of WWI planes were made of natural latex which gave them (approximately) a light-gray colour ; black synthetic rubber came into use only after WWI. But it´s true that the gray I used was a bit too light, next time I´ll use a darker shade.

@PlasticoForEvah Thanks for answer! :)

[PlasticoForEvah]

@tankman13p66

You are most welcome :o)

[MakingModelsAgain]

Wow! Brilliant work, again!

I know what you mean about the 1/72 PE, I put an Eduard cockpit in a Revell P-47 and some of the control levers were ridiculously small. I can see why they sometimes give you several.... ping!

@MakingModelsAgain

Thanks again! One of my latest acquisitions is Eduard´s La-7 in 1:72, it comes with an extremely nice prepainted PE set for the cockpit; I was very excited about using it but after this experience with the Spandaus, well, I´m not as excited anymore

[Shooterkek]

ok thx :)

[Shooterkek]

how did you make the propeller looking so "woodlike"

[PlasticoForEvah]

@Shooterkek

First I applied a coat of wooden colour enamel (Testors) and when this was thoroughly dry I "drybrushed" with burnt umber oil paint, this helps to recreate the wooden texture.
