NHI Kolibri N-3, scale 1:48, scratch build

[Peter Voogt]

I guess I still owe you all an explanation on the registrations on my hummingbird.
On the LH OBD tank the registration is PH-DMS, PH is used for all things flying and registered in the Netherlands. DMS are my father's initials: Dirk Marten Swart. On the RH OBD tank the registration is PH-IDB, where IDB are my Admiral's initials: Isabella de Bruin. My father's initials since he was part of the design team and my Admiral's initials because a) she's the love of my life and b) she allows me to spend an inordinate amount of time in my hangar.
Before anyone start I can't have two registrations for the same aircraft; I invoke AL-FI rights on this one...

I can only copy with great respect what you wrote in my Balder-log:
“An hommage to people close to your heart; this alone elevates this build to another level.”
And Al-FI is here fully allowed.
Regards, Peter

Your feedback was the final trigger for me to move away from the dark blue...

Thanks Paul!

High praise coming from you: highly appreciated.

This first strap is exactly what I'm aiming for and it's another acquired handicraft: never too old to learn something new...

It sure is an interesting project: not nearly enough information to build it. Regardless, it's a real fun project.

That's exactly where I copied this technique from

You know what I always say…it’s your model and your choice. When it’s done, you will see it daily for years to come…we won’t. So satisfy Johan first…or maybe the admiral first and Johan second!
