Hi All, I'm currently working on a flight of 5 SE5a models in 1/72 scale. The project is on my blog if you'd like to check it out. mageknightkevin.blogspot.com Enjoy,
Kevin. |

Don't you just love kits where the parts all fit together beautifully? It sounds like you're having a rough time with the Roden kits. That's why I love finding the old Airfix kits. Not as finicky and for wargaming they fit the bill. Good luck in your build. It looks like you are doing a good job. |

Terry, Indeed! I'm part way through a build of the Airfix Hannover Cl IIIa. Great kit! I love the wing jig they provided with their Pup model too. Kevin in Edmonton. |

I assemble multiple planes too often. IMO not the best way to go about it but . . . I am guilty of this as charged. If I do one at a time it's fun. If I do five at a time its work. mjc |

The planes are looking good. Cant wait to see them painted up. The only biplanes I have found that are not work to assemble are the TD 1/600 planes. So small that you dont do all the fiddly stuff. I have Navwar 1/300 and a couple manufacturers in 1/72. Seems the bigger they are the more work they take to get the wings on. The Wings of War planes are a great compromise. Nice size, not too poorly prepainted, easily repainted, and no assembly required. |

Good stuff and why are WWI models always a pain? |

While building, that upper wing always seems like a 16 ton weight balanced on toothpicks…lol. |
