Top result as usual inclusive the pictures. Does this go to Lingen in two weeks? 🙂

Thank you very much!
@Bernhard Yes, but not in contest (not good enough), but on my booth with many of my other newer models.

Not good enough for contest? Wow. You guys must have some pretty strict judges! It definitely looks "good enough" from where I sit!

I had to look real hard to see if there were reference photos! If this wasn't good enough for the contest, I shudder to think what kind of kits qualify!

Thank you very much mates!
Alec, thank you for digging this out of the big flood of models in the Newsfeed!
Regarding the quality: yes, it is a nice model, but due to some mishaps and not perfectly done scratched parts it is not as the same level as some of my other recent models especially in a very close view. Since I don't want to enter all my newer models in the competition (e.g. at the Euro Model Expo next weekend; other competitions have a limit on the models a modeller can enter in a particular category), I have to choose some and of course I choose the best ones to increase my chances 😉
The Airco DH-2 | Project by bughunter (1:48) and the Sopwith 2F.1 Ship's Camel | Project by bughunter (1:48) are better in my eyes. I hope this is now a little clearer.

A beautiful result Frank, notwithstanding any mishaps you might have had. I love the uniqueness of this monoplane. And the markings are clean and lovely as well. Best of luck at the show!!

Thank you very much mates! Your feedback is highly appreciated 👍
I would especially like to thank Ethan for his help with references!
And I hope that many mates will visit the Euro Model Expo next weekend: there you can see this model with your own eyes (at booth 118).
