It isn't a piece of art and it would never win a prize; but it was a lot of fun to build a I learned a great deal doing it.
Here are some close ups showing off my turnbuckles and my wood grain painting.
These shots show off a little of the cockpit detail. More of the cockpit is visible then I thought; so I am glad I put some extra effort into it.
After I hung this up; my wife asked if I could "cover the whole ceiling with planes?" >grin< I told her that I would be happy to but that I will have to build them first...
She also suggested doing one in pink for Sonya's room. I have an odd Spad XXIII kit that might just look good in pink. But first I have a couple more Nieuport 17s to build; and maybe a Sopwith Pup; then there is my thought of doing an Albatros D.Va for the model show in September...
