VV's Biggles aircraft collection

[Rick Lowe]

Now 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 

Oh, Hell yeah!

Oh I wonder how many soon to be disappointed souls have spoken those oh so famous last words   

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

Damn skippy it is and there's never been anything wrong with doing that .

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.

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

[VickersVandal]

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.

Looks really good in that scheme

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   

[thundereagle1997]

Well done on the S.E.5A my friend

[VickersVandal]

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

[zenrat]

Good job.
 

[stevehed]

Looks good. Another from Roden?

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
