I have a WNW DH9A to build, sign me up.

Sweet!

I've had an Eduard Sopwith Baby mocking me from the pile for some time now. Count me in.

All right, Greg, you're in. Is that kit 1/48 scale?

Tim Kidwell

All right, Greg, you're in. Is that kit 1/48 scale?

That is correct, Sir.

Cool.

Well that's two victims ...  er ... participants. Three more and it's a party!

Tim: I've got a couple of 1/48th biplanes around somewhere - a Sopwith Snipe and either a Nieuport or SPAD (I remember it's French!). I said I wouldn't be entering anymore GBs this year but I dunno, this could be a fun change of pace. Please put me down as a provisional, I'll see if I can hunt one of the kits up and make up my mind this weekend...  

Gamera,

You're in as a maybe.

WW1 isn't normally my thing. But i got an 0/400 for my birthday. I am going to do it my my Gift GB, so if cross overs are ok, put me down. Its the Airfix 1/72nd kit.

As I am working on my 4th entry to Tigerman's "Steel cats" GB, I have been thinking of what will be next.  So before I considered myself officially in a rut ... I'm in for a WNW Albatros D.Va.

hmmmm.... I'm tempted to join as I've many options in the stash.  Time is the main thing, I'll get back with more definite answer in a month or so.

regards,

Jack

 I'm tempted to join 

<puts large chocolate chip cookie in bear trap> C'mon, it'll be fun.

No way I'm passing up this one Tim! Been currently working on WnW's D.VII (the Alb. version - you're gonna love building it!) for Bish's Gift GB. You can pencil me in here with an Eduard 1/48 Fokker Dr.I.

Ok, I found my kits. Tim please put down with a 1/48th Eduard Nieuport 17.

Merci!

Alright, I'm in - I'll just have to juggle around a few other GB's that have longer due dates.

Haven't picked the exact kit yet, but it will be an Eduard 1/48 Albatros in Austrian markings.

Also did a little badge work, mainly finding an appropriate font for the era.  Still can shift sizes/positions around and likely add some aircraft recognition insignia.  Is the Finescale logo required to be present?

regards,

Jack

You should run a story in the mag featuring the GB.  You're the editor so you will have to work on the title..,  

"All you subscribers, join the forum and not only will you become better modelers with all the great advise and the supplies from our advertising that are now getting increased exposure and we can help the economic in Wisconsin with our bonuses at the end of the year and maybe one day your models will grace the pages of the best modelling magazine out there"

Hey... it's just a first draft

Jack: Like it! Only thing I'd change it I somehow prefer 'Great War' over 'World War I' - I dunno- just me I guess.

Marc: Lol!

All right! It looks like we have a group build. Welcome, officially to everyone.

Jack - I like where you're headed. We do want the FSM logo in it. We have a couple of ideas that we'll whip up too and post them out for you guys to take a look at.

Ruddratt - Great! Can't wait to get going.

Tim, could you add my Airfix 72nd 0/400 to the roster.

Bish,

You're in!

Guys,

I am looking for some help solving my dilemma: I know Tim has me down to do the D.VII, a fine aircrft I have no problem building. But I'm looking at my stash and there's a Wingnut Wings S.E.5A in there calling to me, as it has been for about three years. I leave it up to the participants: Which one should I build?

Cheers, Aaron

Well, Aaron, seeing as how Tim is down for a D.VII, it would seem competitive instincts just gotta say SE-5!

OH, SURE! First, he raids my office for the Cylon Centurion from Moebius, then he changes his mind about the model he's building ... And now my 4-year-old son is in my home office with a bag over his head, informing me, "I am the Dark Power," in a high-pitched falsetto.

Fine, Aaron. If you want to change your model, I don't like it, but I'll go along with it.

Now, I must go throw Mr. "Dark Power" in the bath tub so he's clean for school.

OK, fellas, I'm going to have to insist that all Vickers and Spandau firing pins be checked at the door!

Don't quite know what to suggest about the Dark Power thing, doesn't really fit the genre....

They're both great kits Aaron. I've built their SE.5 and am currently working on one of their D.VII's. My question to you would be how comfortable are you with rigging? The D.VII ain't got much, but the SE.5 has got a ton of it.

Bonjour gentlemen,

I say Monsieur Aaron should go with the SE.5 - can't let the Central Powers get too much of an edge here oui?

I know next to nothing about WW1 aircraft, so what is the differance between the two DVII's.

Ha! Can't stop laughing.

I'm not sure there are significant differences, but the the D.VII was designed and built by Fokker, but Fokker's factory couldn't keep up with the numbers ordered, so the plane was also built under license by Albatros and its subsidiary OAW.
