Thanks, but I'm not sure, which one, this Nieuport or the Lebed VII (with a lot of metal and wood)?

The Lebed is more impressive imo, add a building report to it because the spectator may not see at first glance what amount of work went into it!

Thx my friends! Daniel, the winner was a highly detailed heli with folded parts on a ship deck, with figures etc. The class was 1/48 and smaller, so this includes also the huge 1/72 community.

The rigging in particular is outstanding!

Thank you all! The rigging was done with the help of Gaspatch turnbuckles.
Its a great kit, and it seems that with help by Stefaan I can do something related again.
