I remember building the original issue with my Dad in the early 70s !So much fun!

Now this puts a great big smile on my face! Thank you for sharing!

Fun little guy for a change.

That is awesome! Was that as fun to build as it looks?

Awesome, thanks for posting this! What a great reminder of simpler times.

Oh man, now I want a model of Snoopy on his bullet ridden doghouse making frantic machine gun firing moves!

Wait - was he firing a gun from a scarff ring?  He was an observer?  Did history not get it right?  Oh this could be scandalous!

Here is the famous WWI Flying Ace! 

I love it! Peanuts was a favourite of mine as a lad, and the famous flying ace was the best!

however, there is another canine aviator - Gromit from "Wallace and Gromit"!

He resides near my workbench - not a kit (so I'm cheating!) but fun anyway.  He was a gift from my office Secret Santa about 20 years or so ago, and is a stationery item:

The gun is a pencil sharpener, the wings are a ruler, the fuselage stores paper clips, or whatever, and the thing he sits on is an eraser!

So, who'd win the dogfight?

Thanks for the Smiles.You put me back in a good mood.

Ditto; For you as well.

       I am well versed in " Wallace and Gromit!

You need a Red Baron to go with ol' Snoop

Oh that's awesome!!! Love it!!! 

And Gromit is cool too Hutch! 

Thanks guys for putting a smile on my face on this rainy blue day... 

Fantastic!  I had to order one after seeing that. 

A bit of a confession. Even though this is a snap together kit, I did use glue in some areas. Particularly on Snoopy's head. The snap fit left open seams in the head and helmet. So, I glued them together and clamped them in order to close the seams. I also had to do some filing in order to get the tires on the wheels. Then I sparingly glued the tires on the wheels. 

That brings back some memories.

Gotta thank you for that.

Our WWI Flying Ace's nemesis has shown up to terrorize the skys!

Oh that's soooooo cool! Great work on the face!

And nice that you now have the matching set.

Donner und Blitzen!  That's a mean-looking Baron, Big Jim

Great builds that bring back fond memories!  I had the "Red Baron" kit as a kid and just recently bought both kits along with Snoopy & Woodstock's ice hockey bird bath kit from my LHS.  I'm hoping that Atlantis continues to release these "golden oldies" especially the "Flap Jack" kit!

I agree about the Flap Jack. Prices for old kits, if you can find one, are higher than that thing could fly!

Love it.

A good friend of mine designed and flew the RC Snoopy flying doghouse.  I and fellow RC club members were very surprised at how well it flew.

Nice!  That's an old Monogram kit, I built that as a kid.  There was a cartoon balloon to stick in his mouth, too, with stickers that said things like "Curse you, Red Baron!"

Monogram had a series of "Snoopy" kits. Along with Snoopy's Sopwith Camel and the Red Baron's Fokker Triplane, there was Snoopys Bugatti, and a motorcycle with a sidecar.  Woodstock rode in the sidecar.  They were fun!

Baron,

I know that Atlantis has plans to release Snoopy surfing and in his Bugatti but do you know of any plans to release the motorcycle sidecar rig?
