I put the motor together and tried to bench test it. Looks like it should run, but I couldn't get any compression. So I figure I must have done something wrong. It sure looks good though.
Anyone with any doubts about WnWs only needs to come and look at this beautiful model. I have the D.Va hoping to get started before I wear out the instructions. The best about WnWs is you have no need for any after market parts, except rigging materials and paint, lots of paint. So a $45 kit doesn't have to cost $200 to be presentable, and there are people to answer your questions if you get bogged down, and they do answer back. Who else will do that? I only hope I do a third as well as this build on mine.
Very very nice, Marc. Especially the rigging, very fine.

WOW!!! Love it, love it, love it!
Amazing job! You should show us a step by step build of one of those beauties! Now I want to build one of those too!
Marc...I am in awe of that build! Fantastic work all around too many great things going on there to even begin to point out any one thing! THANK YOU for sharing!

Beautiful build Marc, I'd like to say it inspired me to start my WNW Se5a but I'd only be disappointed with my efforts next to your beauty , think I best practice some more first.
Cheers...

Thanks HK, I appreciate the comments.
Mike, Thank you. Means a lot coming from a bipe guy.

Marc, great to see you back building wingy thingies, and it's a bipe, so that makes it twice as nice. That's really a stunning build, and the base sure adds that extra touch of realism. Very well done!

Looks fabulous Marc.
P38, Karl... thanks my friends.
Karl I never quite got the idea about the lozenge camo but I saw a photo thatt was taken directly above an airplane with lozenge camo in flight and it was surprisingly effective.
Marc, great looking build.
Love the chipped paint on the spinner, and that colour scheme, you can't call it camo, looks stunning.

Manny Thanks buddy. And you are 100% correct about the schemes. I could keep building D.Va's for a long time before I tired of it with all the cool schemes I've seen.
VC, Thanks. My club is doing IMPS Region II this year, JERSEYCON 2. It'll be there
OK< now you're just showing off! The kit itself turned out darn-near perfect, the base puts it over the top. Is this heading for a contest anytime soon??
On the bench: Airfix 1/72 Wildcat; Airfix 1/72 Vampire T11; Airfix 1/72 Fouga Magister
Top notch........interesting to see the peeling paint on the spinner. WWI a/c are underrated, IMO---so amy cool schemes!!!
The fork is officially stuck in this one. Finished up all the bits and put 'er on a base.
The bench, sawhorse and tool box are all made form basswood. The tools are from h http://vectorcut.com/accessoriesO.htm Laser cut paper that's just simply amazing. I don’t have a magnifier strong enough to see if it can be read but there is writing in the depressions in the tools handles. The ground work is a mat from http://www.model-scene.com/
Thanks very much to all of you for stopping in and for the comments.
stcat... the spinner was chipped with the hair spray technique. The prop was first painted with wood and brown acrylic then covered with burnt sienna artist oil. This was wiped off leaving a thin film and that was streaked with a small piece of a Scotch Brite scouring pad.
Thad, no not kit decals but an aftermarket set put out by WNW.
Awesome build! I love everything about it.
sweet ! very nice indeed..
Speechless...
Just looked at the link to the WIP photos. Unbelievable, man! Simply unbelievable

VanceCrozier Probably my favourite WW1 airplane & I love the colours on this one: ... If I had another hand, I'd give it a third thumb-up!

You have at least 4 hands on your arms and on your legs (on the legs they are called feet).
