Nice one, Tim.  I think I built that one a long time ago from Eduard but I think it was 1/48th?  Could be wrong.  Yours is neat-oh!

Nice one. A Floh is an itch you just have to scratch isn't it!

I remember at a show some years ago, maybe Telford, somebody had done a whole flying squadron of Flohs in Jasta Raben reds and whites! 😊

Nice work, Tim.  Could you include another shot of the Floh with some common object so the size is apparent?

Superb model. An odd type but you have captured the essence extremely well.

Beautiful work on what must be a tiny model. One thing I like about the Floh is, despite everything, it always looks so happy!

I'm very keen to get one of those.

Great work on your, Floh -

Although I have to say it reminds me of a cartoon biplane so odd is this machine!

Love it, Tim, what a bizarre little gem!

Believe it or not, there already was a WW1 biplane Transformer toy (and, yes, I do have him in my collection)!

That's great... an Albatros mech! I guess there's hope for the Floh yet!

Great work and such a unique subject! I sure wish Elf had continued to make more WWI kits.
