G'day friends,
I'm happy to complete the Takom kit. The kit is OOB with the exception of the main gun which was replaced with a metal barrel made my Master Models, a Dragon MG 42, and three figures from Miniart which were at one time tankers for a Russian Valentine kit. The berets and comm gear were made by me.
I built the Roden Alb D.III a few years ago(my first large scale biplane), and have the I in my stash. I've been looking for the Encore II, but seem to miss them on Ebay. I have some of the Part parts (unfortunate choice of name!) and they are very nice. I just hope that Roden decides to get back into the WWI ballgame.
Unfortunately, PJ never decided to do the Albatros D.I, II, or III. Nor the Pfalz D.III. Amazingly he made two boxings of the relatively unknown Roland D.VI. Still not sure what he was thinking.
My biggest fear now is that the death of Wingnut Wings means the death of future 1/32 scale WWI creations. I can only build so many of the kits now in existence.
Work continues.... I feel like there is a finish coming soon.
Some figures.... if some company that makes figures creates face decals that work, they'll sell like hotcakes. (you heard it here, first)
Happy modelling!
I meant real aircraft pictures. For instance a thread could be titled: Yak Piston 1-9. So ppl could upload their historical pics of Yak 1-9 there. i don't understand what kind of structure you're looking for. I'm just talking threads with pictures and useful captions.
