Howdy guys and gals,

Well, its been a few days and I thought that my neck was abit better (I now know that it isnt lol), but I decided to try another build.
Todays build is Gavia's 1:48th scale Pfalz E.1 German WWI monoplane.
This is a nice model that includes photo etched parts. The model itself goes together great but the "rigging" is a literal "pain in the neck" lol.
I also decided to give photographing on the ground another try (which was a big mistake due to my neck) so here she sits, in the grass beside my driveway.

I saw this model while at the hobby shop the otherday and just had to have it. There is something about the "vintage" wwI aircraft, especially those with all the rigging which somewhat reminds me of drawings made by Da Vinci at first glance.
Anyway, this thing only took about 2 hours to build, the rigging took another hour and a half, but all in all, it was time well spent.

have a good day and thanks for looking,

Greg aka GW
