Hot off the bench, the Wingnuts Pup, vice-less as usual. Great fun build, relatively simple for a WWI era kit. It has a Proper Plane prop (these are lovely) Thanks Guy

Cor! Lovely…

Thanks Kent, Yep, I’m sorely tempted by the Albatros C.III.. If only Wingnuts… Guy

Ps I obviously realise it’s resin/ basic but the surface detail and potential etc? Guy

Hi Kent, Wonderful again. I’ve not made a Lukgraph, how do they compare with WNW’s etc? Guy

Thanks Ray, It looks half decent as a proper article Much appreciated, Guy

Fab, thanks Kev

Ah thanks Kevin, Fame at last! Guy

Thanks! No, none at all, she’s a pussycat! I enjoyed every minute and would happily make another… Guy

Just a few more to show the phantom canopy…

Thanks, Just realised I forgot to put the bubble canopy on! I’ll update a pic later.. Doh! Guy

Course Ray… Guy

Thanks Kurok, All painted using masks by a friend of mine, I’d definitely recommend masks in this scale. Guy

Thanks Quang, I did it freehand with my Iwata, took a steady hand! MRP is my go to paint, they’re great. Guy

Hi all, Just finished this, to replicate RR232 currently based at Goodwood. This kit is Airfix’s finest to date, great fit, nice detail and the stressed skin effect is exceptionally well rendered. Thanks for looking… Guy

Thanks, I’ll take that on board. I have to admit to being a bit of a generic modeller and not going too deep into the finer points of realism! Yes, all airbrushed, but there’s more than one way to skin a cat... Thanks for the nice comments, Guy

Thanks! And thanks Wolf - that actually means a lot as I pore over your builds for inspiration! Guy

Hi all, Just finished this, lovely kit - but the Meng additions are average - Instructions/ Decals. The wings were bent, but easily reformed. Work in Progress here: https://forum.ww1aircraftmodels.com/index.php?topic=11486.0 Guy

Thanks chaps Guy

Thanks, Good old monofilament Mozart, after a layer of paint it looks just like steel! Very pleased with that. There’s a set of the PE flat wire for this kit, but I just can’t get on with that. I tried it on a Tamiya Swordfish and found there’s always one or another wire flexed.. Guy

Thanks guys, it’s worth getting the kit if you’re sitting on the fence., Guy

Thanks chaps, Hi Lothar, Nothing special, but unusually I finished construction and rigged it before painting. I think this worked really well as the rigging looks like steel rod to me now. Obviously only works for an overall silver finish! The base was Alclad gloss black, I tried Alclad High Speed silver as I thought this was meant to represent painted silver, but it looked just like chrome! So I gave it a coat of White Aluminium and this looked much better. Insignia all painted with masks. Finished off with a cost of Alclad Light Sheen. Hope that helps, Guy

Hello All, Just finished the new ICM Gladiator. I liked it very much. Simple build (like an Airfix 1/72 starter kit really), but none the worse for that. Just good fun. Thanks, Guy

Thanks all It’s a a pretty cool kit! Guy

Thanks Not much to report. Just got the engine and mount together. I have closed up the fuse now but been busy at work. Paint to follow... Guy
