Hello, Ole. My name is Ian, and I'm a grandson of L.P. Coombes. I'd love to know how you picked his plane, and where you got all the information in order to build the model from. I have a photo of the original plane, taken at the time in Autochrome (an early colour process), if you're interested in seeing it.

very nice Ole , is that 1/48 ? its a big model

[Guest]

No, it's not a model. It's a photo of THE original plane taken, by the looks of it, in the winter of 1918/19.

Stunning paint scheme I love it and well done on the rigging.

Ole top hole old bean jolly good show and all that that paint job must have taken some work.

Well done Ole, I love these old biplanes and this looks a great example that has been extremely well constructed and painted.
