So just finished this one, my first ever biplane. The build thread is here but to recap: Kit: AZ Models 1/72 Martinsyde F4 Buzzard Build: OOB Decals: Painted except for the fuselage codes. Paints: Tamiya, Klear, oils for fading Extras: Pilot from spares, rigging (badly) from invisible mending thread This year is the centenary of the Irish Air Corps and the Buzzard entered service in the summer of 1922. They were the first aircraft and single seat fighter of the new force. This build was definitely NOT my best! The fit was terrible, some of the parts horrible. And then the 'rigging' was an absolute bear 🙄. My favourite part is probably the oil fading and how the prop turned out. I think I learned more while bodging this kit together than any other kit I've made. Anyhow, some pics and learned lots for the next biplane! Thanks for looking and happy modelling. Dermot

I've just received the latest News from Wingnut Wings e-mail and am intrigued by the contents. It starts off by mentioning the Scale Models Expo in NZ, and availability of the new Junkers D. 1 kit. And then there is this: I should imagine most of us will be aware of the centenary of a particular event on that date, and a kit to remember it by would probably sell exceedingly well. Of course, the announcement could be something completely different! It's going to be an interesting wait.
