Excellent.

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

Just an update on the Biggles WW1 builds... below is what I have built this year just in WW1 alone:



And this is what I am hoping to finish by the end of the year if at all possible.



I have an Albatros that's about 95% done and should be ready to post up in the next few days.

I see you have the Airfix RE. 8 on the list. That kit still gives me nightmares from when I first attempted to fit the top wing to the struts, probably when it first came out, using tube glue  :-\

Very interested to see your take on it  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Those would be the same nightmare I still have about that kit - it very nearly put me off building biplanes for life!

Yep, the RE8 is as horrible a kit as the original was an aircraft....

It's currently on hold while I get some new O rings for the airbrush.

"They were a new lot to me - Albatros D. Fives, orange with black stripes"

- War in Hot Blood, from Biggles of 266

In the story, one of the Albatri has green streamers and its pilot strafes and kills a British pilot who has force landed. Biggles and the others vow to destroy "green streamers" and as much of the enemy Squadron as possible.

The kit is Roden - 1/72 of course.

And do they? Silly question I expect.........  ;D

Love the model, and I'm not generally a fan of bi-planes at all.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Regards
Kit

Agreed with me mates above me..epic stuff ..absolutely epic  :thumbsup:
And plans are afoot for my Spad float plane too  :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 .

I love the shape of the Albatross.  I need to add one to my collection of as yet unbuilt WW1 kits.

Lovely looking aircraft the D.V, the scheme works great on it.  :thumbsup:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.
