A GOTHA

[JeroenPeters]

Saweet! Missed this build completely....

JP =Thank you .

 

I would also accept "stunning" , "brilliant" , "awesome" .

 

But would definitely throw a hissy fit at ; "nice" , "okay" , or "I like it".

 

Model forums , downgrading superlatives for almost 10 years now!

 

Its rainy , backing up my work and social towers so a little bored.

I did get to the second prop, looks as if it will be ok.

 

Some small pits were filled with a soldering iron and some solder:

I've had a love affair with the Gotha since I first saw one in an old WWI flight sim. this is on my "someday" list - but only because I already have several years' worth of kits already waiting to be addressed in their turn.

 

So instead of building my own, just now, I have the joy of following your build.

 

I missed the early part of this build, but just spent a thoroughly enjoyable hour catching up. I love your approach - going well beyond the limits of an already-excellent kit with your own touches and add-ons.

 

Please keep up the posts as things progress - it is a delight to be given a chance to watch over your shoulder

 Hopefully someone is still looking at this forum, seems to have withered away...

Once I get my new image hosting site figured out, I will start posting again.

 

Cheers from NYC,
