Hi Rick, you are indeed a WW1 aircraft modelling machine! Some great results there, and much, much more than I could ever hope to do.... I will watch out for those wonderful builds to come! Regards, Marc.

Great builds, but the year isn't over yet is it?!

I like the Mengdenstein the best, but they all look great!

A grand collection of birds.  :o
I think all are fab, but I particularly like the wee 1/72 DR.1. The streaking is on POINT! Well done!!

The only issue I have with your work is I spend a lot of time admiring what you build and at 81 years it is taking from modeling.  I left WW1 modeling a few years back and now have returned with a vengeance. If only I could find some of the discontinued aftermarket to dress up the old stash.  Fortunately I salted away a number of Wingnut kits for future builds. I'll continue to look forward to your future work.  I've learned so much from this site.

Wasn't bad? Goodness Rick, your models are bloody marvelous!  Thanks
for the continuing inspiration for those of us admiring your talents.  Onward
and upward next year, my friend!

Cheers,
Ernie :)

Thank you for sharing these Rick! A delightful bunch of models but I have to say the Dreideckers are real standouts for me.

I was super confused as I know the pilot's name and was second-guessing myself that it was Mengdenstein  ;D

That's a fantastic haul for the year Rick. All finished to such a high standard that I just can't pick a favourite. You must be very pleased with the year's work.

Thanks To All for the comments! I just remembered that I also finished one figure in 2021  ;D

German Pilot ( Boelcke) from the Encore Albatros DII. The Head was changed to make it a generic pilot using a Head from Manta Figurines:

Quite a collection for one year.  They are all expertly done.  It must make an impressive display.
I'm lucky to finish half this number of models.

Good year's output, Rick. I'm glad you changed the head on that figure; the original always makes me think of Herman Munster, not Boelcke...

Which one of those triplanes was in the True Scale Rick? I simply could not tell from the photos as they are all incredibly impressive. As for quantity over quality I think that others should be allowed to judge - I know what my opinion would be.
