With the taube having a slight accident at the hands of someone who has yet to understand the frailties of injection moulded styrene (ie, my 2 yo grandson), I've decided to put that to one side and get something else out of the stash and start a fresh.
Picked this now OOP kit up for 'normal' retail value not so long ago and have decided to thow a little extra AM at it....
Thanks to all the suppliers for providing what I need. Thanks too to Richard from Aviattic who felt that the underside lozenge pattern was a little too faded so sent me an extra sheet too. Class service indeed
Plan to build Fokker D.VII F, 505/18, oOffz-Stv Wilhelm Hippert, Jasta 74, St.Loup-en-Champagne, September 1918 which is identified by its chequerboard fuselage and blue nose. As well as the updates for the BMW engine and magneto switches from Taurus, Gaspatch provide the MGs and some turnbuckles (1/48 scale for teh cockpit rigging), RB Models with some PE radiator faces and HGW with their excellent seatbelts. I'm also wanting to have a pilot to accompany the plane and this comes courtesy of elan13 Miniatures....
