  1. This is the very Old Revell kit, which I believe still builds into a nice little model. My kit was of late 60s vintage I believe - and the Turkish Decals were still workable! I maintained the Maltese cross on the Rudder, because after research I found that there were a number of Ottoman Eindekkers which had not "Blocked" them out - as they did with the Wing and Fuselage insignia. (The Maltese cross wasn't exactly the Most Appealing symbol to 1916 Mohammedans...). I replaced what to me are Undersize wheels with a spare set of Roden 1/72 Albatros wheels.......definitely looks more balanced... Waited for a nice sunny (albeit snowy) day to take some nice photos. I placed some HaT Austrians and some Dark Angel Germans as ground crew (an Exchange program, I presume).....
  2. This Revell kit was part of a 3 kit 1960s boxing, which featured the Ottoman Eindekker, French Morane Saulnier and the British Camel. Fantastic Cover art - as was standard at Revell at the time! BTW, on Youtube Max's Models is a great channel - Max has put together Company Histories of at least a Dozen Plastic Kit companies - as well as the Great Illustrators that made the kits something Young Boys HAD to Have! The "Red Stripe" Camel (RNAS 10 Squadron) is very appealing given the Drabness of many Camels in WW1. I added more Red Stripes than are depicted on the Box Art - but are shown in other Artwork. More Stripes just look nicer, I think....although I like Accuracy, WW1 Aviation appeals to me because it allows more Leeway in Coloring and Marking than later Aviation. Who is to say that there never was an aircraft painted as the modeler prefers to paint it? The most important goal for me is FUN! WW1 Aviator is part of the Dark Dream 1/72 WW1 aviators set. I also added some wheels from the spare box because like the Eindekker, the Camel kit seemed have undersized wheels. Having built some with those small wheels - This One looks much more like a Camel to Me!
  3. As of about 2 months ago, I discovered the joys of EZ line. I have made several Biplane models, but having finally successfully tackled rigging, I was ready to plow through my WW1 stash and even procure some new ones. I sometimes use acrylics, sometimes enamels, and always use rattle cans. Although I airbrushed in the early 80s, for some reason I prefer the ease of the rattle can....no cleaning up, and I am satisfied with how my models come out....I suppose thats the most important thing! In addition to WW1 aircraft, I have completed Many (most) from WW2, as well as the earlier period of Jets. I often prefer the more obscure aircraft subjects that, more obscure Air Forces use of well known aircraft (Burmese MiG-17s, Romanian bf109s, Bulgarian D.520s...stuff like that) The only rather different one here is a Nieuport 17 used by Admiral Kolchak's White Army during the Russian Civil War.... I really enjoy photographing them in my backyard on a Sunny Day - its almost as much fun as building them..... , or barring
  4. Hi, I intend on starting a series of builds for WW1 bi-planes. As such I am looking for the best products for the rigging in 1/48 scale. I have looked at Bob's Buckle's and he suggests fishing line. However I cannot find a fishing line that is thin enough to simulate rigging. Also, what do people use on their WW2 aircraft that have antenna's (from cockpit to tail). I don't like using stretched spru, and again, I have found that fishing line loses it's tension very quickly. Any advise is greatly appreciated. Danny ps. I am in Australia
