WWI Aircraft Websites?
Posted by stikpusher on Monday, October 5, 2015 6:14 PM

Does anybody know of any good websites that specialize in WWI aircraft? I can google individual aircraft for informations, but I am curious if there are and good sites that may have it all in one place. Or perhaps any sites for various nations air arms of that war?

I echo GMorrison.  The Aerodrome is probably the best site for WWI aircraft information available.  Used to hang around there myself back when I was playing "Red Baron" and "Red Baron 3d" online.

Thanks for the suggestion guys. Right now I have the strong urge to do some WWI aircraft for many many years, so hopefully this will help my modeling moejoe return.

I rather like this site for the profiles - I've no idea if it's accurate or of any help.

When you do decide to give it a try, look into getting a 1/32 Wingnut Wings kit.

They are really expensive, but my they are worth it. Financed by the director Peter Jackson, they are really incredible kits.

Of course there are a lot of others too, Eduard is a stand out. Roden too.

one day I would like to do a Wingnuts bipe. I am familiar with them and their story. But for now I am sticking to 1/48 like the rest of my aircraft.

I have a pretty decent stash already, although mostly older stuff. And I am starting out very simplistically with a Glencoe kit. It won't be an award winner, but it's my first biplane in almost 40 years.

Good luck with it, I did the same thing, started with a cheap restore kit. Then slowly worked up the difficulty tree. The dreaded rigging still has me challenged though.

Stik, consider the new Revell Stearman.

Thanks for the encouragement Wai. I am going crawl/walk/run in my approach to biplanes. And I am very much in the crawl stage right now andresisting the urge to add and add to such old basic kits.
