Lutz Schramm
Very nice, indeed. Great detail work.

Burkhard D
Oustanding. Looks like a 1/8 scale museum piece. 👍👍👍👍

Spanjaard
a work of art, hat off.

Jens
Das ist einfach nur Oberliga an Baukunst und ein Meisterwerk an Vorbildumsetzung 👍 👍 👍 vielleicht kann man das Schmuckstück ja dieses Jahr in Cheb bewundern, der Pokal für den größten Nervenkrieg wäre dir sicher 😄, ich denke für das Best of wäre es absolut auch ein Favorit 🙂

gorby
Stunning

Christian Bruer
A real masterpiece 👍 👍 👍

Maarten Kruizenga
holy mozes, that's about as good as it gets................

Bart Goesaert

Jonns Pfeiffenberger
the best naked aircraft I've ever seen! Congratulations for your patience! 🙂

Soeren R.
Awesome work!

Thomas Wirsching
Whow this is really a breathtaking beauty you created there! Can you explain me what kind of rigging thread you did used and how you managed to fix the hooks for the thread? I have the same airplaine (not the stripped down Version) in my stash and wait until I have the courage to start it...

Jens
Hallo Thomas, ein Link zur Entstehung des Kunstwerks modellboard.net/index.php?topic=55089.0 , bughunter zeigt in dem BB den wirklichen Nervenkrieg

Thomas Wirsching
Hallo Jens, super für den Hinweis! Ich danke Dir!

Nazid Kimmie
Wow that looks intricate, great looking subject...

bughunter
Thank you, mates! I like the result too, even if it was the model with the biggest effort.

Erwin BOVYN
Impressive work, congratz.

bughunter
Thank you Erwin, the rigging was really challenging!

Marcel Klemmer
Very impressiv work. Well done🙂

MRMLA
Simply. IT'S piece of ART. Congrats Mister Modeller!

bughunter
Thank you! Idea stolen from Dmitriy: add a screen shot of the Eduard web shop with this model.

Urban Gardini
Fantastic!

Michael Hickey
Great job, defiantly a piece of eye candy and a competion winner.👍👍👍

Neuling
A work of art.

Bart Goesaert
hope to get mine half as good as this one...

bughunter
Thank you mates! Regarding competition: I won Bronze with it in Fürstenfeldbruck
(nice row: Demoiselle 4th, D.H.2 Stripdown 3rd, last year Nieuport 17 Flyboys 2nd place.
So how to continue this row this year? with MOAB and Bristol Fighter I hope).

Greg Baker
Ufff... you know that sound your eyes make when they snap open so wide, so fast, that they make a puff of air...

Lochsa River
THIS IS WHAT THIS MASTER SAYS IS HIS MASTERPIECE (OR ONE OF THEM)....EASY TO SEE WHY

bughunter
Thank you Lochsa! I have also a normal kit of the D.H.2 in stash to build it one day (again with metal booms) to display both together.

gorby
Looking forward to that one Frank. The D.H.2 is my favourite WWI bird. 🙂

Rui S
Like we say here "Words for what (what for ?)"

Robert Podkoński
Awesome!

David Taylor
Where did this one spring from,Fantastic.

John Hughes
Now i see why you call yourself Bughunter. You must be part spider to weave that web!

bughunter
Thank you mates!
David, this build was done long ago, but I mentioned this as masterpiece, so Lochsa digged it out of the deep of SM 🙂
John, my username has its roots in the hunt for software errors, the so-called bugs.

Kyle DeHart
These strip downs are too cool

bughunter
Thx! Another stripdown in 1:48 would be cool, may be a Camel? Hello Eduard!

Guy Rump
Beautiful! 👍

bughunter
Thank you Guy!

David Cannon
This looks next level. I've never seen anything like this before but it looks perfect.

bughunter
Thank you David!
I still like it, but as I build this 7 years ago I would do some things in a different way today. I meantime I learned a lot and we have now better accessories.

Mr James
Wow, like David, I've never see anything like it. It must have taken at least a couple of hours to build 🙂

bughunter
For sure! The internal rigging in the wings alone - it eats the Gaspatch turnbuckles for breakfast. 😉

bughunter
I forgot to mention: this was the only strip down model by Eduard in 1:48 so far, but you should not miss my other ones in 1:72! Here Eduard has created 6 kits. The Fokker Dr.I was released again in a reworked edition, so this can be seen as number 7. I have not yet build all, but here is my collection: bughunter

Pietro De Angelis
Impressive work!

David Taylor
No words.

Dominik Weitzer
wow. thats a masterpiece. outstanding.

bughunter
Thank you mates - glad that you like it!

bughunter
It is an older model, but due to all the recent interest and the new likes I replaced all pictures by identical one, but much bigger size according to the new rules. As this shows much more detail it was worth the effort.
I really like pic 17 because it dhows the crazy rigging 🙂
