pcben80 Posted April 20, 2020 Share Posted April 20, 2020 (edited) OK, last one guys, I swear. This is my COVID-19 quarantine build and I'm pretty happy with the way this one turned out. As with the previous three, no real weathering to speak of and built mostly OOB with exception of HGW seatbelts in addition to the Vickers and double Lewis guns courtesy of Eduard Brassin. Sorry I didn't get any pics of the underside - I'm too damn scared to flip it upside down! As I mentioned in the introduction for the Junkers D.1 build I posted earlier, I'm really not at the point where I build for historical accuracy so this bird has features that were not included on the "IF" scheme outlined in the manual (wheel covers and double Lewis guns). These recent WNW builds are all going into the display case for basically only me to look at so I decided I can live with it because I like the way it looks! I think I told myself when I was building it that I would build the next one to a much higher historical standard (and actually do a WIP!) but that was before recent developments... Anyway, on to the pictures. OK, I swear I'm done now... Anyone have any ideas how I get these safely from NYC to California?

LSP_Ray Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 I would like to publish this on the website, if it is ok with you?

This keeps any packing material from getting on the model, plus if anything shakes loose it stays in the bag with the model, i.e. makes any pieces easy to find!

pcben80 Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 (edited) Thanks to everyone for their kind words about the build. I would highly recommend this kit to anyone - I didn't really encounter any major problems. I have a post-war version in the stash that I am already looking forward to starting! Going to build something modern first though to give myself a little break from rigging. 11 hours ago, LSP_Ray said: I would like to publish this on the website, if it is ok with you?

Thanks for the offer to publish this. I would be honored (and thanks for the additional shipping tip!). I only wish I could get some better pictures but unfortunately that's not going to be an option for a while...
