Glad you're here Mate and TY for sharing your builds. That Taifun is remarkable and I for one am looking forward to learning from you.
I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.
Posting some in the Auto forum.

Nice clean builds and finish. I want to see your cars!
Thanks,
John

Yikes! Really fine builds here.
I have the Wingnut Wings 1/32 Camel F.1 which, when I get around to building, I hope I'll be able to do 1/2 as good a job as you've done with the Academy kit.

These builds are beautiful. I especially like the Camel. Excellent work.

Thanks, Radmax8. That's a great tip. I'll be using that in the future.
Again, thanks to everyone that commented. This forum and others have a wealth of knowledge and experience that can benefit us all.
I have finished a LF-107 Lunak glider model that I will post soon in the civil aircraft forum.
You may have only build 8 aircraft, but your skill is obvious. If you're looking for a tip, the only one I can think to give is in regards to canopies. When you paint them, use the interior color first. On a plane like your Taifun, which has a large "greenhouse", it would add another layer of realism to an already fantastic build.
Nice work, and thanks for sharing!
well may I say welcome kensar. all your models look great. I have yet to rig a biplane and your camels rigging looks awsom. can't wait to what els you have up sleeve.
Welcome to FSM Forums! All of your builds are of exceptional quality. Thank you for sharing them with us.

All very nice builds, but I am most impressed with your Camel.
Welcome and thanks for sharing some exceptional work!
Outstanding builds Kensar!
I could use some lessons. Whats the going rate?

Lovely builds there, look forward to seeing more of them.

On the bench: Airfix 1/72nd Harrier GR.3/Fujimi 1/72nd Ju 87D-3
The rigging is monofilament fishing line, 0.005" diam., colored with a sharpie marker.
At most of the ends there is a brass tube (~1mm long, 0.6mmOD/0.4mm ID), that the line goes through, then goes around a mounting point, then goes back through the tube, and is CA'ed. The mounting points are either holes in the kit struts, or a loop of 0.5mm wire superglued into a hole in the plastic surface. I tried using 0.5mmOD/0.3mmID tube but could not always get the rigging line through it on the second pass. Its the smallest brass tubing I have ever seen. It came from Albion Metals through Sprue Bros.
There is a tutorial on this rigging technique on ww1aircraftmodels.com which is another awesome site.
Thanks for the complements!
BrandonK You're a skilled builder and it shows. Well done on those kits and that rigging is awesome. BK

Very nice models. Good photography too.

Great looking stuff! I remember one of the first kits I built was a revell sopwith camel 1/72 scale. The black and white drawings specified the color as "Olive Drab". Being 8 or 10 I had no idea what that was! I had to walk around asking my family.
Anyway looks like you nailed it! nice work,
what did you use for the wires on your Camel, it looks like you have linkage at the ends, Nice touch

Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and thought I would show some of my builds. I have been building model cars for some time, but have only built 8 aircraft, so I am still learning the techniques. I have been looking around the forums and there certainly are some talented builders here. I have learned alot and hope to be able to contribute in the future.
My builds:

I hope you enjoy the pictures and thanks for looking.
