    Hello all,
    I have always had a fascination with powered heavier than air vehicles. In other words, PLANES. Particularly Aeroplanes dating back to the 1914/18 War. I have read many memoirs and histories from this era and like a big fat magnet I keep being drawn back to it time and time again.

    So, without further aDoooooo.
    Some pictures of my 1/32 model WW1 German Scout. The beautiful Pfalz DIII/a

    Cheers!

    Nice, probably takes a lot of patience to build one.

    Thanks!
    It does take patience and a cursing jar :headbang:.
    The jar quickly fills up with cash as one more microscopic plastic part goes pinging off into the carpet of doooooooooooooom! Nooooooooooo! :picard:

    I have a model kit that I bought when I was in Germany about 15 years ago. It's Manfred von Richthofen's tri-winged Fokker D. I never assembled it and I could never assemble it with the skill you have.

    That would be a good one to try...when one of those small parts goes flying off you could say "you dirty Fokker!" and not have to pay the swear jar...:thumbs:

    Sure thing, Eric.

    This one was built way back in 2009.
    I had to do a lot of work to get this model to look halfway presentable, but I'm happy with the outcome.

    Cheers!
