Just perusing the stash and wondering what to build.

I'm thinking of doing 2 kits, and the hot faves at the moment are a 1/48th Revell Fokker DVII (easy no rigging!) and an Aeroclub 1/48th RE8 (lots of rigging!).

What are you all going to do?

Also, howzabouty we have a banner!?

Like the one below?

We like?

Cheers,

Nick

Nick,
I think I'm going to break scale tradition and plumb for the new Roden Pfalz DIII in 1/32 scale. Going to pour all my love into that beauty cos she is my fav German type.

OH YES!

Bob

Pfalz. Cheeky.

I have to admit that I was looking at a couple of Hobbycraft 1/32 kits in the stash I bought as something different to build, this could be the push I need.

1/28th Revell Spad

Going big...

I like.

1/72 rigging is not an old man's sport!

I have in mind the Airfix 0/400 or the Roden Gotha - but they are only 1:72nd scale - then I will probably be sensible and do something else.

Like the Banner by the way.

David

Quite. I've been rigging a 1/72nd Sopwith Pup for over a week now and it requires patience! One string at a time..

I've got a 1/28th Sopwith Camel, a Fokker DR1, and a 1/32nd Nieuport 17 in the stash. Maybe if we're all going big, I'll have to step up to the plate too.

Who knows? Still like the idea of the RE8, although there's a lot of white metal in there. Not sure about that....

Glad you like the banner David. Those two kit ideas of yours are adventureous to say the least!

Cheers,

Nick

Well I had quite an adventure with the Novo Vimy - see below!!

REALLY nice... How long did it take you? Oh, the rigging, the rigging....

I have the following choice from the stash ...

Hobbycraft 1/32 RFC Camel 'Le Rhone'
Hobbycraft 1/32 Nieuport 17

This is the first time I've built anything like this so I'm looking forward to it. The rigging will be a challenge!

I can't really say how long it took to build the Vimy - it was one of those intermittent builds - a bit now and again!

It doesn't matter how long... when the results are sooooooo excellent!
Well done that man.

Bob Von Buckle

Somehow I missed this one. As WW1 aircraft are my current obsession, I think I'll join in. I've got an Esci Camel and the Eduard Dr.I going. For the group build...hum, I dunno. Should I step up to the Devil Scale of 1/48 and do something big, or just do the little Eduard Nieuport 17 that is sitting next to the desk...hum... This will take some thought.

Jim

Welcome on board Jim.

A lot of guys will be going big. Personally, I'm with the devils scale, but anything's welcome.

Cheers,

Nick

i fancy a crack at this as well, I think I'll enter with a Fokker DVII from Roden in 72nd, but maybe a swiss scheme.

Full of holes?
