Not exactly beautiful, but and excellent model of an amazing aircraft. Very interesting video as well.

At first I thought it was an egg plane. Nice result on a totally unknown plane.

Thx mates! Since it was my first 1/48 plastic model it can't reach my actual standard (it is the only 48 without a wooden airscrew) - since one can learn things with every new model😎

Thank you! The really impressive fact is the age of more then 100 years of this airplane, so a century ago before the modeler start to build the comic eggs instead of this real egg.

Really nice work! I just picked up this kit - do you happen to remember what you used for the wing radiator panel? Unfortunately the PE sheet doesn't include it 🙁

Oh, you digged out my first biplane 😉 One day I should overhaul it (also because the lower fuselage seam has split open) and add a airscrew made of real wood.
If I remember right the radiator was from a PE set for an Albatros (I think D.III or D.V) by Eduard.

Sorry to hear that the fuselage seam split open 🙁

For what it's worth, it looks like the Eduard D.III PE set has radiators! Thanks for the information!

Album info

This was my first 1:48 plastic kit, there are areas, which could be done better.
This was one of the first Eduard kits and the plastic parts are really short run, but the PE parts are superb!
It was a damn small machine, constructed around a 6-cyl-engine.

It looks like the egg planes are invented in Germany 100 years ago!
