Just finished three of these beauties....
These are designed to operate as a uit on table. Notice the leader's streamer between the struts on the lead plane.

Lovely group of planes.
Fabulous work, Tim! What did you use to outline the ailerons and elevator?

Love the detail work here, Tim.
I painted them!Originally Posted by malachi
Nah, just kidding!
They are decals - ultra-thin black lines produced by Kevin @ Miscmini

These are the ones I used for the wing rib tapes on my Pfalz E.I and E.II planes...

Fiddly, but well worth the effort!

The attention to detail is excellent -- just looking at the pictures you would guess they are 1:72 or larger. The Albatros C.VII was the most common German two-seater in early 1917, just before the meteoric rise of the D.F.W. C.V.
lol - you got me.I painted them!

Lovely work on that Alb C.VII.
A very sharp two-seater! (Rep gun jammed)
Great-looking C.VII, Baz!
I guessed someone would beat me to it!
Nice job, Baz!

Good luck, my fingers are too big for this work really on Valom kits. I did use all the metal parts apart from the rear gunI guessed someone would beat me to it!
Nice job, Baz!
Baz,
I thought that such a great paint job deserves a card to match, so I mocked this up for you. Hope it meets your needs.
Thanks Gary, will use that for sure, paint job not that crisp but game useable.
Very sharp Baz. Damn, another plane to add to the list of must haves!
So much excellence in the various painting threads of late!

Wow, Peter! The detail work is impressive!
Another awesome plane!
A worthy addition to any hangar, Peter. Well done
Another impressive model Peter. I especially like the effect of the wash you use on the fuselage.
That's beautiful Peter.
Run for your life - there are stupid people everywhere!
What immaculate painting Pete. Those thin lines are incredible.
Rob.
"Courage is the art of being the only one who knows you're scared to death."
Another top-notch job here.
Really nicely done, Pete!!!
Very nice indeed!

Thanks guys. Can't wait to try it out.
I can see why you don't need any of Daryl's full-colour 3D Prints
Amazing wood grain on that beauty.
I agree, the wood grain effect is a masterpiece. Well done Peter.
