Quote from: VickersVandal on December 01, 2022, 03:33:02 AMNow that I've worked out the main fit issues with the kit, the next one should be a doddle!


The words "famous" and "last" spring to mind  ;D

Oh, Hell yeah! :wacko:
Oh I wonder how many soon to be disappointed souls have spoken those oh so famous last words  ;D  :wacko:

Some of us just can't help but taunt Murphy... but this fella also managed to smack him in the head, too... ;)

I'm pretty sure there's been some who's kicked him in the dangerly bits to ..just to make sure  :wacko:
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Another for the Biggles collection. Wilks - Biggles' friend and rival of 287 squadron - has an SE5 which is described as "blue nosed". Most likely inspired by Billy Bishop's blue nosed SE.

Biggles actually gets shot down by Wilks in The Joy Ride when he is flying a captured Albatros and gets pounced by some SE5s.  ;D

Lovely build again Vandal mate  :thumbsup:
And in a scale far to small for me to play with which makes it even better  ;D

Cheers boss.

I realised I forgot to add undercarriage rigging. I also made the prop boss steel rather than blue, which I think makes it look fractionally less cartoony.

Dude it's a beauty no matter what and I didn't even notice the under carriage rigging so it shows how good it is  ;D  ;D

Thanks everyone. Bit of an ugly aircraft and the kit is a pain in the neck so I'm unlikely to build another.

Good job.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

I don't do WWI because I suck at rigging so never do it, and thus my bi-planes never look right ... This saddens me, because my dad used to fly a dH Rapide. and though I do have a kit of that a/c I know I can never do it properly ...

Which is to say - I love your builds, I love the concept (being a huge Biggles fan), and you'll never find me niggling about riggling - I mean, rigging  :)
