With the build lasting to the end of the year it will be built in between other group builds that I will be doing. So many I want to do this year ( so many to choose from ) I may not get them all in

A nice choice Ian.Suppose I'd better make a start on my WW1 build as well (Roden 1/48 DH9)

[Guest]

I'll tag along with you Ian! WW1 aircraft fascinate me, so basic yet perhaps the purest fighters ever.

[Guest]

Yes Ian that is superb. 1/48 as well great detail.

Dear me I keep seeing all these things and thinking I want to have a go at that.

Hope you are doing a build in Ian !

You will add some base or similar? Or just the plane?

Good luck mate, will follow this thread

Some nice detail and very little flash at all, a few pin marks but think they will be hidden once built The decals look good and each dial on the IP is a separate decal

Looks nice Ian, that cockpit panel looks a bit sparse - needs an MFD or 2!

[monica]

Nice choice Ian, and very good start on the cockpit, will tag along on this one

[Guest]

Some quality modelling Ian. Believe it or not, I worked with a lad in his 70's in the 1960's who was in the RFC and flew these kites. Cheers Derek
