Each squadron had its own color scheme, and I selected Jasta 11's - "The Flying (...) (23 years ago, 15-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

| (...) My thoughts exactly - after I was finished I realized it was a passable Dornier 17, especially with the canopy I used, and the upper wing profile. Oh well. (...)

| (...) Thanks! (...) Ahh! You ruined the suprise... I just got 2 of the canopies in from Brickbay, and am overhauling the front end with them. I'll repost the new photos when I'm done - should look *much* better. I should've waited to begin with, but (...) (23 years ago, 14-Nov-01, to lugnet.build.military)

The hull's "smoothness" is very cool, The POV'd thumbnail's actually look like a real model boat hull, not lego, great job, I was at my library last night picking some WWII plane books up, and I checked for some (...)
