Thank you both.  I have stumbled across the wingnuts kits previously, but I was after some testimonials, so thanks!!  I've never built a resin kit before but willing to give it a shot :) .  I think they do a Hawker Hart :) .

 

Cheers again.

Try Wingnut Wings. They have a great online catalog with extensive information on each of their kits including the entire instruction book (typically in color). I've built two and loved both. The fit and detail are excellent. Shipping from New Zealand takes about two weeks.

1/32? Biplanes? WW1? You can't do any better than Wingnut Wings kits. Check out their site (http://www.wingnutwings.com/ww/) which includes build ups of all their kits as well as loads of reference material on each aircraft. They are superb kits.

You mentioned the Hawker Hart. I'm not aware of any between-the-wars RAF subjects in 1/32 scale, other than expensive resin kits. Hasegawa produced some 1930s Boeing biplanes in this scale (nice and colourful). They're older 70s kits but still build well.

There are some other 1/32 WW1 subjects from smaller producers like Roden and Special Hobby, a Google search should throw out some possibilities.

Hey all!

I'm looking to do a biplane. . . never done one before but the idea of all that rigging and wires appeals to me.

I'm after suggestions.  My requirements are that it's a good detailed model which fits well, preferably a metal-finished nose (like the Hawker Hart), and beautiful looking. [edit:  I like 1/32 mostly].

 

If you can link to appealing photos that would be nice too.
