Copper State Models 1/48th Taube
Hello all
This is my Taube, which has taken about a year to do. I have been modelling for about 30 years (on and off from when I was 10) and have learned more about our hobby from this one kit than 10 other models put together. I hope you like it

Andy

Hello Andy,

This is really outstanding entry. The bracing and control wires are especially impressive, for me. Could you show some more photos? Maybe close-ups?

Regards

Marek

I'll try with some closeups, but my photo skills are not my strong point. Plus, close ups show all the nasties!!!
Rigging was done using monofiliment threaded through .3mm holes. Turnbuckles were represented by oil paint. A lot of heat tensioning was used on the rigging.
By the way, those crosses are not decals but home made stencils

Andy nicely done! Could you write a review of the kit? Making some comments about what you learned would benefit all of us I am sure!
