:D G'day All.
Here is a WIP on a MS Parasol from S/ways in WSF.
I have modeled it based on a 3 Sqd RFC aircraft but have yet to add the rigging.
Still tossing up about the tail colours.
I saw a pic in Jan Goldsteins excellent collection of original WW1 B & W pics on his DVD "the Great War in the Air" of an early war BE2 which had a rondel on the tail fin inplace of the usual Union Jack or B,W R stripes & as the tail fin on the "L" is so small I thought it might look rather cool to add that.
The overall colour is GW's Bleached Bone with some Golden Yellow added & the Nose etc is GW's Blood Red. Gunner is a Peter Pig British Lewis gunner trimmed of the Scarf Ring. Decals are from Dom.
More pics after the rigging is done & the tail completed.

A beautiful bird. Nice work.

I'm jealous, this is on my wish list to recreate Roland Garros in his classic rasta hat.

If only you'd posted this BEFORE our latest Shapeways order had gone in, I might have remembered that this one was on my shopping list!!!!

Good work there

Looks very smart Barry.
I decided ages ago to wait for the Nexus release rather than make one and risk duplication. Little did I realise that two years on i would still be waiting. As you know I finally caved in over the Eindecker, and your fine effort is making me waver. Maybe I should get one. That would bring on the Ares set for sure.

is there going to be one? I thought the series 1/5 release was an N?

I was just talking about the generic sort Dave sorry. At the time I decided to wait, all we knew was that it was going to include a Sauliner.
