Those look nice! I've always thought the highlights and shading on the Prudenzio prints were to exaggerated.

A very well executed little set Pat.
A great achievement.
I'm sure you will get as much enjoyment out of flying them as you did in the production.

The color difference shading on Prudenzio's a/c may work better at larger scales. In comparing them to the Fiddlers Green models, they do seem to be needlessly complex for this scale. More research (more models for me!) must be done.

One thing to know about FG, speaking as a longtime customer and member of their forum... their designs are more "artwork" and "caricature" than true "scale", focused on rough proportions, key features and easy building than "accurate to the Nth detail".
That said, I don't regret a single DIME I've spent with Chip & Co. Get 'em while you can, 'cause he's talkin' about retiring in the next year or two...

Great work. I'm gonna have to give these a try.

As a longtime FG customer, it saddens me to inform you that FG Chief Cook & Bottle Washer Chip Fyn has passed on. His son Scott has taken over in the meantime while they try to find someone to take over the business, but I wouldn't hold my breath on new releases, and a month or so before his end Chip sent an email asking us "Model'n Pals" to hold off on any more of the repaints we usually bombarded him with.
Chip had told me in my last email from him that he was planning a $400 omnibus "Fiddlers Green Complete Collection" DVD package (air alone is like 7 discs) around November, so it may be prudent to snag things while you can.

Pat,
Excellent work on those triplanes! One of the things one picks up when working with card models is which model designs are meant to be built in larger scale (and therefore have more details) and which are either perfect or that can be simplified a bit to be great builds in our scale. Your planes look great!

I like the look of those Fokker Dr.I's Patrick good job mate

How did you attach the gimbals? Since the models are paper, does that cause any problems keeping them attached to the bearing while shift them?
-
Excellent work! I love your Dr.1s.
