papa 695s WW1 Dogfight

[papa 695]

I got these two at Newark last year, or should I say four, as you get two kits per box. I'm going to do a little dogfight diorama with them. One kit of each that is.






Here's the Sopwith pup








Here's the Fokker Dr1

Love these ian , if theyre as nice as the texan then youre going to enjoy them . Mind you the tiny etched frets might need some serious magnification! I hope youre going to do the rigging too!! Cheers tony

They look like nice kits Ian. A WW1 dogfight sounds like fun... except for the rigging!

[Guest]

They are not that big at 1/48 so brave man taking on 1/144


Should be good

Oh my God, Ian!!!


1/144...? Why you don't try with a Wingnut Wings 1/32 models...?

1:44 bi planes - he's had too much sun.

I would tend to agree with you Colin but we live in Britain there's no sun here.

will look forward to seeing them,

Watching


It's a brave man Ian who takes these on at 1/144.


It's great that there are two kits per box as you can happily throw the first one at the wall when all that rigging becomes to much happily knowing there's another 1 in the box for a second attempt


Good luck cheers John

They don't look bad for 1/44 scale Ian, look forward to seeing the builds.

[papa 695]

Here's where I am at with this build, just doing the Sopwith Pup for now I will build the Dr1 after. Still plenty to do.


Right can anybody help me I need 2 1/144 scale figures, so if you have any and  you would love to sell them too me I would be most greatful.
