Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Hello all somewhat a newbie to BM. Newbie to WW1 aircraft other than the basics. Im trying to add to my overall Collection of builds/kits/Stash. I have a Sopwith Camel in 1/72nd and am planning on adding the following types. Id like to keep them same scale for display purposes. I would love to do these kits from WNW but im on a seriously restrictive budget financially and storage wise. I guess what im looking for is help completing the following list. 1. Sopwith pup 2. Sopwith Triplane 3. Nieuport ( not sure of variants ) 4. Spad ( again not sure of variants ) 5. Fokker Dr.1 ( Triplane correct?) 6. Fokker D.VII ( Biplane ?) 7. Fokker Eindecker (monowing?) 8. Albatross D.III 9. Albatross D.5 10. Pfalz (not sure of variants) I hope thats a good start as im just starting out. These will be built along with other types in my stash as time unfolds and as i think i can get to them. But am looking at eduard kits for most of them in this scale. Any how i hope and believe you gentleman are far wiser when it comes to this era. Thank you Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Coombs Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Off the top of my head, here we go: 1. Sopwith Pup: HR Model. The Airfix Pup is OOP (and ancient) 2. Sopwith Triplane: Revell (OOP, try E-Bay?) 3. Nieuport: Various marques by Eduard, Revell, and Roden 4. SPAD: Eduard, Revell, Airfix. Check availability/E-Bay 5. Fokker Dr1: Eduard, Revell (the recent kit is nice), Roden (fiddly struts) 6. Fokker DVII: MAC Distribution, Roden, Revell (ancient) 7. Fokker Eindecker: Revell, Eduard (check availability/E-Bay), Airfix (new!) 8. Albatros D III: Revell (ancient), Roden 9. Albatros DV: Eduard, Roden 10. Pfalz: AZ Model (E1), Eastern Express/TOKO (D XII), ICM (E IV), MAC Distribution (D IIIa), Roden (D III, D IIIa) Note that these are all injection-moulded kits; there are almost certainly others that are resin/vacform. And all these are in my stash... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevehed Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 (edited) In addition to Steve's post 11. Eastern Express Sikorsky S16 12. " Sopwith Strutter recce 13. " Strutter single seat bomber 14. " Strutter trainer 15, " Strutter Comic HD fighter 16. Roden Sopwith Camel 17 " 2F1 Navy Camel 18. " Comic Camel 19. " Trainer 20. " Bristol Fighter 21. Airfix RE 8 22. " Bristol Fighter 23. " BE2C 24. " Airco DH4 25. " Avro 504K 26. Pegasus AW FK8 27. " Bristol Fighter 28. " DH4 - three versions 29. " Airco DH5 30. " Martinsyde Elephant 31. " BE2E 32. AZ Morane L 33. " Martinsyde Buzzard 34. A Model Spad A2/4 35. " Avro 504 These are all Entente aircraft. There are also the Airfix Handley Page 0/400 twin engined heavy bomber and the Roden series of twin engined Felixstowe/Curtiss flying boats. All of the above are obtainable, some more easily than the others. Not forgetting the Airfix Camel which is the least best but can with a bit of TLC be made into a passable Camel. Again all are injection kits and many can be used as conversion material. Can post list of Central Powers aircraft if desired.

Beardie Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 I'm afraid I can't add to your list much in 1/72 but I know a few. I know that Eduard did a decent 1/72 DH.2, MACDisttribution also do a Bristol Scout and Phonix and Special Hobby do a Lloyd C.V. I wish you well on your quest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandy Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 (edited) I posted a list of 1:72 WWI kits on ww1aircraftmodels forum. It's 4 pages long, so I won't repost it here, but you can find it there if you search for "List of all kits" Ian Edited July 26, 2017 by limeypilot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRK4m Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Corsairfoxfouruncle, I have no idea how much time / place / money do you wish to devote to the WWI aircraft modelling, but in my opinion 40-50 is the minimum number to display the various forms, shapes, roles, camouflages of the WWI big players' aircraft. I know that for most teenagers the typical WWI German fighter should be Fokker - either the (scourge famed) Eindecker or Dreidecker (of the Red Baron last flight). But in reality both these were minor types used for the very short time and by very few units. Everyday fighter job was performed by biplanes built by Albatross, Pfalz and (in 1918) Fokker D.VII. Indigenous Russian aircraft are also of almost no significance - 90% of Imperial Russian air force consisted of Nieuports, Voisins, Farmans, Moranes and SPADs. So - my "forty" (forty+ to be exact) would include: Britain - Airco DH4 (Airfix), DH5 (Pegasus), DH9A (Maquette), AVRO 504 (Amodel), AW FK 8, Bristol F2B (Roden), Felixstowe F2/3 (Roden), HP O/400 (Airfix), RAF BE2 (Airfix), RE8 (Airfix), SE5 (Roden), Sopwith Baby (Eduard), Strutter (Toko), Pup (HR), Camel (Roden), Snipe (Toko) and Dolphin (Pegasus) France - Breguet XIV (AZ), Hanriot HD1 (HR), Morane L (AZ), Nieuport 10 (HR), Nieuport 11 (Toko), Nieuport 17 (Eduard) or 27 (Roden), Salmson 2 (Pegasus), SPAD VII (MAC) and SPAD 13 (Eduard) Germany - Albatros D.II, D.III or D.V (Roden), Albatros C.III (Meikraft), Etrich Taube (Pegasus), Fokker D.VII (MAC), Halberstadt CL.II (Pegasus), Hannover CL.III (Airfix), Hansa W.29 (Toko), LVG C.VI (KP), Pfalz D.III (MAC), Pfalz D.XII (Toko) and Rumpler C.IV (Merlin or Pegasus), Austria-Hungary - Berg D.I (Toko), Brandenburg B.I (Legato) and Phoenix D.II?D.III (MAC) Italy - Caproni Ca3 (Meikraft), Ansaldo SVA (Fly or AZ) USA - Curtiss JN (Olimp), Thomas Morse S.4 (Olimp) Most of them have been listed above, but I cannot imagine a WWI collection without Breguet XIV, DH.9A and a Jenny...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted July 31, 2017 Author Share Posted July 31, 2017 Michael i appreciate any input i get towards my goal. Will i build all ? Im not sure but i will take all the suggestions i get here on BM and compile a list of 30-50 types. Then i will subdivide that group into the major powers to achieve a balance of types. Only at that point will i choose the groupings and actually build them. I will try to rotate through so i balance and don't do all british or all german first. Though i did do the sopwith camel already. as that seems to be a very well known subject i started there i again thank you for your input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandy Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Good luck! I have over 140 different types in my stash....... Probably won't have time for the majority unless I live to well over 100 and am still capable of building 1:72 kits. Here's hoping! Ian 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
