Title: Mutli Seat 2026 GB - RAF FE.2b A852, Taylor LeFevre, 100 Sqn (1/32, WNW)
Post by: PrzemoL on May 15, 2026, 05:04:13 PM
Here is my third WNW Fee. The model of and A852 aircraft from 100 Sqn known from the striking night photo showing it under preparation for the night mission in January 1918.

This kit is definitely in the top three of my favourite WNW kits.

Additions include some scratch elements in the cockpit and around the engine as well as a multitude of rigging lines which make it so attractive for me.

I could not skip the chance to take a couple of group photos of three Fees, though fitting all three of them nicely on my table was not easy...

Comparing the new one with Jess show quite a difference grown during almost 15 years in my attitude to models - especially in the rigging. It also turned out that my first version of PC10 was terribly faded (or just wrongly chosen ;) ).

Beautiful model Prze.
I love the way the cockpits seem to glow with life drawing the eye towards the terrific detailing work you've done.

The shots of all three are very impressive (I quite like the really faded PC10 although that's more an artistic interest) They all look really good - you just need to add an Fe2d now  ;D ;)

Hello, really beautifully built and painted. Such a typical First World War aircraft. I think it's such a shame that Wingnut Wings is no longer available. I would absolutely love to add this plane to my collection! I hope the current manufacturers release one again someday. If anyone has one for sale (in Europe), I would be interested.

Two of my three Fees were bought as second-hand items after WNW closed. Just scan the internet and be patient - those kits regularly pop up for sale, sometimes even decently priced.

That's a lot of Fees! You must have a big display area.... :) Your most recent Fee is marvellous, a stunning model in all aspects. The interior is wonderfully detailed, the fabric areas very cleverly handled and the rigging is a masterpiece! Lovely work.

It is interesting to see how we evolve as modellers. I tend to get rid of my older models so I'm glad you haven't done the same!

Stunning as always! I'd love to know how you're so prolific with amazing pieces Prze! These days I am lucky to get a couple of builds done a year. You continue to inspire me to be better, sir!

Well done!

Cheers,

It is interesting indeed to see the changes... But honestly, I sometimes feel embarrassed seeing my earlier attempts 🤔

A couple of builds a year you say... Well, there is no reason to be amazed. My production rate does not exceed 5-7 models a year, either. ;)

Wow that is a superb collection of Fees Prez. The rigging, cockpit and engine details are eye-catching indeed. Three mini-masterpieces, even if you consider that the earlier model is not as good as your last. I think that all three are excellent.

Stephen.

Bravo Prze, she's come up beautifully and to see all three together is a real treat.
