My earliest kit builds were the 1/48 Aurora WWI aircraft. Most of them back then were $0.79 and an EXPENSIVE kit was $1.29. Testors little paint bottles were $0.09 each. How things have changed. I still have one of Aurora's Gatha bomber kit unopened. Your collection is fantastic. I have a few of the newer WWI kits and I am inspired by your work, and I pulled a Spad out of the stash and put it on the workbench. 

Again that is some very finr work. Thanks for sharing it.

WOW!  Very impressive collection/display of WWI planes.  I've attempted only a couple of biplanes and they were in 1/32 scale so I can't even imagine doing themin 1/48 scale.  I also like your glass display case that you have them displayed in.

Truly impressive!   You should be proud of your work. I’ve always wanted to build WW1 planes, but I know I don’t have the talent or patience for it. I shall experience it vicariously through your builds. Thanks for posting.               knox

Thanks again.

 

1/72 scale biplane kit is too small for me especially when it comes to rigging as my eyes are not what they used to be years ago Smile . For me 1/48 WW1 is just perfect in terms of cost & details, and ease to work with.

Those are lovely!  No question where the term "Flying Circus" applies, is there?

I'm just getting back into the WWI aircraft focus, but in 1/72.  I hope they turn out as pleasing as yours.

Impressive collection.  It's like the set of the movie Wings :)

I haven't delved into WWI just yet but I find the color schemes very attractive.  Nice job.

Thanks,

John

There is a lot of beautiful work there!  I love biplanes (I have a couple in the stash), but the rigging puts me off - one day, maybeSmile
