A long yet very enjoyable series ending in a beautifully completed final reveal....great job and so much rigging! Those little extras certainly made a difference to the end result. You are educational, inspirational and a pleasure to watch. Looking forward to the next project and more tips to come.
@@FlyingCircusModels Please do....I'd love a video on it! I already have the VII and want the XIII as well, plus a few Roden 1/32 kits! I really hope that Roden will produce more 1/32 WWI aircraft! 😍🥰😎
Nice work. Very nice. I ordered this kit today. I was after an FE 2 but couldn't afford what they're asking for WNW. We'll see how brave I feel when it comes time to copy your rigging. Happy New Year!
thank you, I agree WnW prices are way too crazy. If I started to build this kit again, I would consider replacing plastic tail tubes to brass or aluminium tubes
@@FlyingCircusModels Yes, the bent framework does distract from the rest of your work. Hopefully mine will arrive in better condition, but I do have a selection of rod & tube in plastic & brass just for such emergencies.
Fantastic series with this kit, congratulations. Please let me ask something. How you placing your camera? The viewers see everything you can do the work but your head never go into the picture. Peter
Bravo, Bravo. Your ingenuity, artistry and creativity are on full display in this final installment of the Airco build. Those aileron pulleys are just amazing You turn Roden kits into museum quality pieces. What a great way to spend 20 minutes this evening! Thank you so much for sharing your hobby with us. Okay, I KNOW I'm being pushy, but what's the next project? PS. .. I think you should start adding pilots to your projects. :) All the best! Mark
I have this kit in the mail... Somewhere. I can't help but notice the long struts holding the tail to the fuselage are very bendy. I assume that's a result of the plastic either from the kit or being bent by the wires? I'll be curious to see if that's an issue in mine.
Beautiful. but isn't your wing shading backwards/reversed? The original wings had a wood structure covered with fabric. The fabric was porous to light so surely the frame would have been a darker silhouette within the lighter fabric, particularly when viewed from below? Just a thought, nitpicking such lovely skilled work. Sorry!
Thanks Mark, I already answered for the same question in one of other videos 😀 you are correct at some point, for the planes, that were not painted (were with only dopped linen) and covered with clear coats - yes. But for the painted planes to show the depth and shades - I believe that this technic is more realistic. Also, you could see the sun light through the wing only during a sunny day, but what if I made a model on a cloudy day? 😉
I'm using a nylon beading thread, it has a huge advantage - you can use it to add more strength a "biplane box", but if the tension is not enough it can become loose, because of the humidity in the room...
The Airco is so quirky a design and that makes for a really interesting model but honestly those rigging lines scare me into not trying at all. I should start with a less difficult model to rig, I guess, like a Fokker triplane or Junkers D.1. 😊
Yes, any late Fokker or Junkers is a great option for getting into WW1 planes. I will definitely not recommend to have any British pusher as a first model
Really like your work, your attention to detail, your passion for the hobby quite evident...but the MUSIC for this part is so freaking loud that I can't stand it.... Sorry... Love your work

Love it!
I can't wait for your next build....
🇸🇪❤️🏴❤️🇺🇦
Hope to see you tackle Roden's 1/32 Spad VII or XIII soon, would love to see you solve the rigging on that one!
🇺🇦❤️✊🏻
Thanks, actually I already built Spad, you can see it on my chanel main picture. Perhaps I will build it again, later 😉

Fantastick work. Great DH-2. Greetings, Aleš 🙂👌
Thank you so much, Aleš!!!
She looks Great!!!! Well Done!!!!!
Thanks Michael
That is an outstanding build. All that rigging would have made me put that kit on the shelf of doom.
Thanks, the rigging is not complicated, it's just too much😀
These planes (DH2) were so cold... Nothing to keep wind out....
Rigging is a "wow"... The small "nails" ...neat idea.... Cool!
Yes, that's why pilots had so many coats, they were like onions lol :-)
Fantastic series with this kit, congratulations.

Thanks Peter, I use a tripod to shoot videos and my camera is in front of my face, so you can see hands, but not head ))
Thanks for your answer!
I'm waiting your next build.
Happy modelling mate!
Peter
That was absolutely perfect sir, you should be very proud of your result, best regards from Australia.
Thank you so much :-)
Wow. Museum class model.
Thank you very much
That is an amazing amount of rigging.. Fantastic job. I have really enjoyed this build and I am looking forward to your next project.
Thank you so much
Wonderful work
Thanks
Wow - beautiful!! Such talent.
Thank you
Incredible work, and such detail
Thanks, Barry

Thanks Mark, you can imagine how I'm tired of rigging lol, so my next couple projects will be with a minimum amount of rigging
@@FlyingCircusModels Well I know you’ve already built both the DRI and Fokker EV so I’m guessing it’s going to be a Fokker DVII based on that hint. 😉
You are almost right, actually this will be Junkers D.1, I planned Fokker D.VI as the following project

Yeah, if I had this kit and was about to build it, I would replace plastic with brass tubes

Please tell me what you are using for bracing wire?
