Well, maybe a WW1 plane someday, I have a couple in the stash that I bought on a whim after 1917 came out.
Oooh that was a good movie...

That is a great movie. Another good one to watch is They Shall Not Grow Old. I’ve got both movies on DVD. I’ve got a Sopwith Camel Kit in 1/32 scale - a it bigger for my taste than one in 1/48 scale. 1/72 scale WW1 aircrafts are too small for my liking. These old eyes can’t deal with small riggings. :giggles:

A 1;32 WWI single seat biplane is not that big. Most take up the same amount of room as a 1/48 modern jet like an A-10. And some WWI types do have far less rigging than others.

For some great inspiration, watch The Blue Max sometime.

It might be easier if I list what I have built Aircraft wise. One 1/2 built Monogram F4U Corsair. That's it.

I will remedy this soon enough.
Now that we know that.... What have we learned?...

Well that gives you a long list of choices availability Bob. :hmm:
