As a scratch builder I can only admire your models. Some interesting and little known types here (therefore they attract my interest), - I did not know that two-seat Camels existed. Do start again and if possible publish more photos of these models for us to admire.

PJ, these are all fantastic! Some are types I've never seen in model form before. I can only add my voice to the chorus: please get back into building! And if you have more photos to share of each model that would be wonderful too!

All the sepia photos look very realistic, but it takes away the fun of the color.

On the other hand, these are great inspiration for builds of a less-seen type of aircraft.  Great inspiration.

Thanks!

Good point, I'll add in a color shot for each plane.

Superb portfolio of work.  :o
I think it would be a crime against humanity If you decide not to make more of these wee beauties.  :)

Cheers,
