 I would like to make a 1/32 o scale Special Hobby kit because WW1 models are never enough!

Possibly a Fokker D.II

Cheers

I would like to build a 1/48 Pfalz D.XII because I have always loved the plane since reading Frank Tallman's book. Plus, I already built the 1/32 ones.

I would Like to make  a 1/32nd Special Hobby kit because they are one company I haven't tried. I am certain it would lead to others!

I would like to make a 1/32 Special Hobby kit because I have never built a 1/32 scale WW1 kit before.

[kkarlsen]

I would like to make a 1/32 scale Special Hobby kit WW I Morane-Saulnier Type N "RFC service" because it would a be great rehabilitation project for my brain injury…

I would like to make a 1/48 scale Special Hobby kit of the Albatros C.III because exactly that kit is not in my stash.
It would be great if also this aircraft type got the chance to be converted into a 1/48 down scaled original and a build report about that process.

Cheers,
Frank

Hello Dave
Can I have the KuK Fokker B.II 1/48 please. By coincidence the last month I was in my job I used their photocopy machine to make a few scale plans of potential scratch builds and the Fokker B.II was among them. I do not model in 1/32 and I have all the other aircraft in my stash.
Alan.

[Tony Haycock]

I would like to make a Special Hobby 1/32 kit because I am very good at starting a model and very bad at finishing one. If everyone here is watching, I will have to follow through and actually have a completed model to finally put in my cabinet, which is waiting for aeroplane to land.

[Whiteknuckles]

I would like to make a 1/32 Special Hobby kit because the commitment to building the kit and producing a build log will ensure the kit will be the first kit I have completed in a very long time.
The 1/32 scale Bristol M./1c ‘wartime colours’ or 1/32 scale Morane Saulnier Type N “RFC service” would be my nomination - any kit would be awesome though!!
It will also be a great incentive to dust off my Roden DR1 build and get that sorted.

Andrew

p.s. Thankyou to Dave and Special Hobby for this opportunity, its a great idea!!

hi Dave!
I would like to build the Phonix Special Hobby kit as I never modelled an Austro-Hungarian plane before and I like very much their camo scheme. Besides 1/48 is perfectly fit for my limited room space!
Thank you, once again, Special Hobby and Dave for the wonderful opportunity!

ciao
Edo

Hi,

I would like to make a 1/32nd scale Special Hobby kit because Fokker D.II construction is worth of recollation as a part of WWI plane development

Good evening (if in Europe at least),

I would also like to enter the draw for no less than three reasons - two model related ones and one rather childish... 😁

1. I am seriously at risk right now. My current build has too few wings, no rigging and not even a propeller (see picture below). Any Special Hobby model in the list would obviously be a direct cure for this condition.


2. I had a CMK saw once. It was a fantastic modelling tool and did good service. But one day it broke and all that I have left now is this...


Getting any Special Hobby model on the list would get me a new saw and add something of great value to my bench. So I actually want the saw and sanding stick more than a particular model...

3. The childish reason... be warned, it's really childish!

If I were to get the 1/48 scale Fokker B.II “KuK fighter & trainer plane”, I could get away with writing KuK in every post on this forum as well as my local Swedish forum. That innocent and historically correct Austrian acronym reads quite differently in Swedish. It is in fact a quite rude word for the male genitals. Who would guess I'm about to turn 49 instead of 9 or 19. 🤪😃😉

Cheers Fredrik - who also applaud the initiative

I would like to make a (1/32 or 1/48 scale) Special Hobby kit because...
THE building of a
SPECIAL Morane Saulner kit makes my
HOBBY more
GRAND and I won't
GIVEAWAY the resulting model.   

[Ernie]

I would like to make a (1/32 or 1/48 scale) Special Hobby kit because...
I have built a French 1/32 scale Morane Saulnier Type N and really
enjoyed it.  It was an unusual and very cool model.  I would like
if possible to give the 1/48 scale Albatros C.III a whirl.

Cheers,
Ernie
