    Dave Ward's Eduard 1/48 SSW D.III - Brad9826's WWI Memorial GB Finished

    I'm calling this finished![ATTACH]312027[/ATTACH][ATTACH]312028[/ATTACH][ATTACH]312029[/ATTACH][ATTACH]312030[/ATTACH][ATTACH]312032[/ATTACH][ATTACH]312031[/ATTACH][ATTACH]312033[/ATTACH]

    After 188 decals and a couple of metres of elastic line - it's completed. I was struggling to finish this, and to really cap it all, I broke my last 0.5mm drill at the very end ( that's why there aren't any control wires on the elevators )
    As a model, the Eduard Weekend SSW D.III is good, the parts fit well, the instructions are clear - and honestly, I can't see the Profipack version adding very much - OK there are more finish variations, but they ALL have the lozenge decals.
    That is where this model really gives you problems - so many decals, so fiddly - it really does need patience.
    Anyway, construction of my MSTA-S will start shortly - only about 7 decals in the whole thing!

    Well done Dave, patience of saint to do those decals. Needless to say I won't be indulging in buying one.

      I will be doing another WWI build, but with 83 days to go before 11/11, I just might squeeze another build before then. :tongue-out:

        Well done Dave. The decals sure look like a challenge.

          Very nice work Dave, with some very challenging decal work too.

            Well done on the finish - those decals are just too scary for me.

              That's a smasher, and I agree with Colin's remark about the decals: like a waking nightmare.
              WW1 aircraft in 1/48 is admirable to start with, and you've made a nice job of this one.

                        Sorry to hear about the issues with the build. It was well worth persevering with. Very vivid colours
