I have completed the Viper powered SE5a flown by Duncan Grinnell-Milne in 56 squadron. I have portrayed it as I "think" it may have appeared just prior to or Just after the armistice. G-M stated in his book that he was flying over the front in Schweinhund III with "It's Nose Painted Red". The all red fuselage was photographed in January 1919 so probably done after the Armistice but How Soon is unknown.

Beautiful build, Rick.
Thanks for sharing ;)

That is super Rick - the more so as you have not had much luck with this kit in the past. Super finish and rigging.

Lovely model, Rick. I especially like the perfectly doubled flying wires (my personal nightmare!) Your reasoning seems perfectly valid to me. I think the SE5a is the definitive aeroplane of WWI and you have certainly done this one justice.

Excellent SE5a!

Beautiful work Rick! You are a true maestro of the Roden kits and show what can be achieved with them.
I have a Roden Viper SE5a pasrt started here that I keep getting distracted from so your build makes me pay attention to it again.
Excellent work!

I've read the whole build log from beginning to end (again). You've done a spectaculair build again Rick!

Great looking model, Rick. I think the semi gloss finish looks very realistic.
And the PC12 finish is more appropriate than red!

That really turned out well, Rick. An awesome build of an iconic fighter aircraft. Superb, and inspiring.

Exactly my thoughts! And you are an expert now regarding this SE5a topic, so I will ask you when doing mine :)
