The modifications involved manly a different nose and a new
two-passenger accommodation aft position. Some parts of the Broplan kit were replaced, like the engine and some struts. A
whole new decal set was commissioned from Arctic Decals.
It is a rewarding experience to make those drab and gloomy
WWI birds into more joyful machines with appealing color schemes and much more
positive lives.
Flying advertisement went along with aviation development
from its very beginnings, and since the purpose is of course to grab attention,
the resulting models of them are per norm visually striking.
As another example, here is a "NUCOA" converted
WWI plane, a Nieuport 28, that did not need any modifications of the original
kit:
Many kits can be converted with little or no modifications into
out-of-the-ordinary models that present another side, more luminous, of those
magnificent flying machines.
Awesome Job!

DeleteVery nice job on the Hansa and great photography. I like the gloomy skies, almost looks like you're in the Arctic ;-)

Thanks Peter.
DeleteThe wildfires produced those skies, we are in California.
The Hansa W34 can be liveried whatever you like, it's a jewel in itself, and your work is master jewelry.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
Thanks Pablo!
DeleteIndeed the Hansas are charmingly ungainly.
