Is anybody out there that makes early Great War aeroplanes circa 1914. I'm looking for types like the Taube, Voisin, Sopwith Tabloid, Be2a and alike to use with my 28mm Guns of August collection. Preferably prebuilt rather than kits, but I'd consider them too. Need them to be to a good wargames standard and able to withstand the rigours of being gamed with. All advice appreciated, especially on recommendations for kit builders, manufacturers and scales to go for ie 1/48or 1/72. TIA…. |

Eindekker Roden do some early War in 1/72nd – DII and DIII Revell do a DH2 in 1/72nd scale search model sites like (great search engine – put in scale and aircraft name) kingkit.co.uk MH

I believe all of those you mentioned are available from Fiddlers Green as card stock kits. |

I still have an Eindekker, a Moraine Saulnier (sp?), and a DH-2 that I built in the mid-1960s. They are put away in a box right now. Jim |

While not pre-built, there are a great many kits available. Most of them are either vacuform or resin. I've built a bunch myself, including Albatros and Aviatik B-and C-types, Voisins, FE.2s, Fokker D.I and D.2, FE.8, Bleriot XI, Martinsyde Scout and Elephant, and a couple of Fokker B-types.
link I use them all for gaming, so yes, while it's not easy or cheap, it can be done. |
