    It is a Reiveresco model Barry. The wing decals are also from them but the unit markings are homemade.

    Well those just put the gilt on the Gingerbread for me Steve.
    You will not need anyone else's seaplanes or flyingboats to bolster this lot.
    You can run a whole scenario on your own account.

    The naval lozenge is from 1/144 Direct on Ebay (http://stores.ebay.co.uk/1-144-Direc...p2047675.l2563), crosses from Dom's Decals. The personal markings and serials on the W12 and W29s are home made.

    Great to find this updated thread! I have the W29 and a CC on order from Shapeways and can't wait to get working on them when they arrive. Thanks for the tips on where to order decals, guys. I now need to acquire the Osprey Seaplanes vol. 2 to look at tasty profiles/pictures (not that I can't surf the Net and find some too...)

    All of the planes above look lovely - well done, all involved!

    All the best,

    Thanks guys! I have 2 AARs to submit yet, but I have a feeling that my new Brandenburg will soon be taking part in our little campaign. Who knows? The HMS Iron Duke may not have seen the last of the Central Powers yet...

    The threesome of W.29s turned out lovely, James! Very inspiring, as are all of the planes on this thread. I am resolved to apply decals to mine over this winter break - heck, I may even finish the little beastie (or come close, anyway)

    All the best!

    I'm more impressed by James's concerto of (Hansa)Brandenbergs.

    I must say the collection of other aircraft in this topic are most Hans-ome and my own collection is just the tip of the iceBergs.

    I have two W.12's awaiting my attention plus 2 Wingnut Wings W.29's and a single W.12.

    Hansa-Brandenburg W series seaplanes are without a doubt my favourite of all the aircraft from that era.

    Hansa Brandenburg W12 - Shapeways (JBMACEK) - Decals: Camouflage, non cross markings and small Maltese crosses on fuselage (White hand painted) - home made, but copied and adjusted from internet downloads. The large Maltese Crosses on wings and the smaller ones on the rudder, from 1/144 Direct.

    The Brandenburg W 29 prototype #2204 as shown in the Windsock Datafile #55. The model is Shapeways by wow in FUD back when FUD was not as expensive as it is now. The hex pattern and crosses are from 1/144 Direct and the numbers are from Fighting Piranha Graphics. The figures are also Shapeways from ReducedAircraftFactory.

    You will notice from the above photograph that the wow model is missing a spar from the float to the back of the wing. I didn't notice that until I started painting. The ColumbiaAerodrome version of this aircraft has the correct spars, but I like the detail and smoothness of the FUD material. Unfortunately this model is now terribly expensive.
    So how many books are in your personal library?

    After languishing in my painting queue, I've finished my flight of Hansa-Brandenberg W.13 flying boats. Models are of course, from Reduced Aircraft Factory.
