Title: Show us your - SE.5a
Post by: Des on July 31, 2012, 08:04:50 AM
This is my WnW SE.5a model, I detailed the engine and left it exposed.

That radiator looks incredible Des. You're a master with Mr. Color my friend.

Thanks Chris, but the radiator is real brass, I used very thin sheet brass and formed it to shape around the plastic kit radiator.

Truly stunning SE, Des.  Absolutely flawless.  That engine deserves full exposure.  When I first saw your SE, I decided I had to build one, ordered the Roden 1/48 kits, started one, then abandoned her for another project.  Thanks for bringing this one back out and giving me the motivaton I need to get back on mine.
Cheers,
Bud

Des,
    Nice to see this, perfect timing as I just ordered another from WNW last night. My last was "chopped/converted" to McCudden's 4891 with the modified cockpit enclosure and LVG Spinner on a four blade prop; I like the kit so much (and fear a SOLD OUT notice soon) that I ordered a second. I plan on a basic Hisso config, maybe Rhys David's at 56 Sqn as I have the Pheon and Encore Sheets.
   Beautiful Model as always. I have to add that this "Show Me Your..........." category is a wonderful idea; gives everyone an opportunity to showcase their efforts and I certainly enjoy all of the submissions, hopefully others do as well. Most important, it show-cases a lot of the incredible talent resident here and not only provides inspiration for the viewer but also reinforcement for the builder. I'm very proud and pleased to be a member of this Site.
Cheers,
Lance

This SE holds a special place in my heart, Brad.  It was from this very model that I learned how to make realistic clear pulley inspection panels using 2 part epoxy.  Brilliant stuff, mate.  As with all your models, this one is truly extraordinary.

Bud

Beautiful work Brad, and your build log is fantastic for anyone wanting to build this model.

Gregory, the idea for the "Show us yours" came from Carpo, full credit goes to Paul.

 All,
I guess a SE.5 could fit in here as well. Although it's totally outclassed by Des and Brads I present my little SE.5 project from way back. She's the result of a kitbash between the Monogram and Lindberg kit converted to an SE.5 configuration.

All,

I'll add my two penny's worth (especially when comparing against the brilliant builds by Des and Brad) then and include my build of the 1/72 scale Revell SE5a recently completed as part of this forum's 'old kit group build'.

  Dave ,
As best I recall the project wasn't too difficult but there was a lot of surgery to perform on the wings and the fuselage. At the time and I guess it still was the only way I could build a SE.5 for my collection. I had the idea to do this project again sometime ago but in 1/32 scale . I have two WNW SE.5a's and a Roden kit as well to convert plus  much more reference material on the type. Just never got around to it.
Highest Regards,
Gregory Jouette

I hope you do find a way to get to the 1/32 scale SE.5; that would be a fun build to watch I think.

Nice SE5's guys.  Gregory, great job on two cantankerous kits.  Turned out great. Des, your brass work and the engine is truly outstanding.  Brad, another great kit and Dave, your 1/72nd old kit is truly noteworthy.  I post mine here.  Like Lance said, this is a great part of the forum, I am enjoying seeing all the great models by the modelers on this forum.  All are truly great models by skilled modelers.

This is the result of some ruined parts and extras from another WNW SE5.  I don't remember the squadron or pilot, but I like the markings and am happy with the results.  I would do another one and may before WNW sells out of the kit.

Hello Des, Brad, Gregory, Dave and Mark,

Thank you for posting your magnificent builds here. Des your build log was an exceptional one and helped me a lot in building mine. Unfortunately I failed in installing the upper wing. But a few days ago I worked a bit on it and probably I will continue my log. I still think the SE5a is one of the most beautiful aircrafts produced during the war. You all made great builds. Many congratulations!

Kind regards
Patrick

Dave, Mark and Lance!  What lovely SE's you fellas has produced!  Lance, I plan on doing McCudden's ship in 1/48 scale.  I think it's so interesting and unique with the narrow cord elevators, short exhaust stack, four bladded prop with the LVG spinner and McCudden's custom cockpit opening.  That last item presents a challenge for me since the Roden kit doesn't provide that option.  Still trying to figure out how to do that one.  Anyway, I digress.  Brilliant work, gents!

Bud

Thanks Amigo! The review build says it was posted in the May 2005 Internet Modeler, so about 10 years old. I probably finished it in April 2005.

Not seen these ones of yours before, Rick -

Up to your usual high standard as always and looks great.   How does this Roden kit go together?

Regards

Dave

Thanks Dave, as always I appreciate the comments! As for the fit I said in the review article that the fit was great so I guess I would have to say it was very good for a Roden kit. As far as I recall the kit presented no real build issues not mentioned in the article. Compared to the 1/32nd I think it was a breeze  ;D

Very nice, Rick, I was following your build with great interest and the result is pure joy to look at, congratulations!

Here is a little brother to the S.E.5a company, my 1/144 scratch of Mick Mannock's machine.

Rick and Ondra -  Both models are beautiful.  The rigging on Rick's plane is tremendous. Ondra - amazing scratch building, especially at 1/144 scale.

Rick and Ondra, two master craftsmen and their miniature art works!  Both SEs are stunning.  Rick, yours has inspired me to do Rhys Davids bus in 1/48 scale.  Ondra, what can I say?  I'm stunned by the detail you packed into this tiny gem.  It looks to be at least 1/48 scale.  Hats off to my two friends.
Cheers,
Bud

Here's my first Wingnuts build. The landing gear snapped so I had to use the later gear.

Old Monogram/Aurora 1/48 scale, much updating and scratch building but no aftermarket.

Yes, there are easier, more accurate kits out there to start with but I enjoy the sculpting and scratch building as well. It is also the first kit from my childhood I've wanted to rebuild with my adult skills.

After commenting on the last addition, I realized I hadn't added My Roden 1/32nd scale Viper powered SE5a. This represents the SE flown by Duncan Grinnell Milne of 56 squadron. A little different take on the aircraft based on his book.
