TBD Devastator - 200 scale.
"Kate" 200 scale
Valom kit, Se5 - 144 scale
Valom kit, Nieuport 17 - 144 scale
Shapeways Caudron G4 - 144 scale. This is a highly customized, and painted 3D print, the following photo is what I started with.
A broken fuselage boom and no wheels. I fixed the boom by cross bracing with wire in horizontal and vertical planes (as a real aircraft would) and used No. 60 O-rings for wheels. Paint, paint and more paint to smooth the rough 3D texture, decals and monofiament rigging. Tedious but worth it.
Ok, let's move on!
A Reviresco (metal) Sopwith Triplane - 144 scale.
A 1/72 Vought OS2U Kingfisher - A rehab "Out of the Storage Box".
An Airfix kit, 1/72 Sopwith Pup.
Roden kit, 1/72 Fokker Dr1 with a Czech Republic Resin MvR crew and a scratch built (Muslin) tent/hanger used with the quickly moving Flying Circus.
I did upgrade the Roden kit with brass/photoetch Spandau guns and ammo belts.
Oh, and I added LED lights!
These are a few of the projects over the past number of years. There are many more by Bob and me and they may eventually appear.
Ooops, almost forgot, I had to rehab and big boy as well. In "The Storage Box" was a Revell 1/28 kit which had no crew and was supposed to be an Fokker F1 -103/17 flown by Werner Voss. Back in the Day Bob wanted a Red Triplane (Dr1) so that is how it was painted. I did some work on it.
Repair of the undercarriage, completion of control wires, cleaning, detail and painting including revising to F1 102/17 which MvR did fly thereby justifying the red paint job!
I found another kit that had a full crew and negotiated its shipment to me. I set to work painting.
And grouped them around the refurbished " Fokker F1 102/17".
OK, now I'm done - For Now!
