sillymodeler Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 (edited) Hi Everyone I completed building WNW Airco DH.2 Lanoe Hawker. This is the counterpart to my previous work, Albatros D.II Manfred von Richthofen. Hope you all enjoy it! Lanoe Hawker is the first British fighter ace in WW1 and the commander of the first fighter squadron as well. He was awarded the Victoria Cross On 16 November 1916, He engaged in an intense dog fight with Albatros D.II piloted by Manfred von Richthofen and crashed to the ground. BTW the model base is not made by myself but I bought AMMO’s scenic mat FYI: This great youtube video reproduced Richthofen' fighting carrier including duel with Lanoe Hawker by using a flight simulator "Rise of Flight".

chuck540z3 Posted July 4, 2022 Share Posted July 4, 2022 I'm not a Bi-Plane guy but I am one who can appreciate fantastic modeling, and this is right up there with the best. Awesome work! I could look at this for an hour and find all sorts of interesting details that look so well done, and all perfectly weathered. Cheers, Chuck sillymodeler 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
