Peter Lloyd Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 . Alright you, just as it says. Did I go for a 'biplanes GB'? 'Wood, canvas and wire'? Nor even, 'Great War'? No. No compromise. You've had your fun with your Spitfires and Messerschmitts and Mustangs. It's time for you personally to step up, do something a bit difficult, and do honour to the greatest aircraft* of that war we prefer to forget. The fast, simple, effective, workmanlike, SE5a. Be courageous. Embrace the challenge. Sign on. (* in my opinion) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Throwing the proverbial hat in, top two choices would Major R.S.Dallas’s 40 Squadron camouflaged kite. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/eduard-8453-se5a-hispano-suiza--1154514 or the all Red Wolseley viper ? https://www.scalemates.com/kits/eduard-8454-se5a-wolseley-viper--1112967 Just don't expect me to Rig the darn thing. Thats a dark art that just continually eludes me and for my sanity wont pursue again Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malpaso Posted April 17, 2021 Share Posted April 17, 2021 Yes, in would be up for this. SE5a is my favourite WW1 type, I would probably have to McCudden's G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim R-T-C Posted April 20, 2021 Share Posted April 20, 2021 I've got a pair of the Valom kits in the collection so this would probably bring them into the light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul J Posted September 16, 2021 Share Posted September 16, 2021 There is a nice set of decals by Leading Edge Models out now with early post WW1 markings in 1/72nd and 1/48th. Hop this will inspire some. I did post my 72nd ESCI build here not so long ago now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2996 Victor Posted September 17, 2021 Share Posted September 17, 2021 Yep, okay, count me in with this GB, please! I had a Revell 1/72 SE5 as a nipper, time for a new one! Cheers, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
galgos Posted September 21, 2021 Share Posted September 21, 2021 Hmmm, could be tempted with a WnW SE5a in 56 Squadron colours….. Max Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKNEY Posted September 22, 2021 Share Posted September 22, 2021 I think I've got the ancient Revell one somewhere, if I can find it I'm in. Cheers Pat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) Might I suggest broadening the proposal out to the Royal Aircraft factory which would then bring in the BE2c, BE2 and the RE8 among other types. For what it’s worth I find GBs more interesting than STGBs anyway ( I also have a BE12 in the stash ) Edited September 23, 2021 by Marklo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
