Thanks all. Glad you enjoyed this old kit from our past.
I do derive some perverse pleasure from upgrading these old kits to more modern standards but of course some kits are just not worth the effort.
To that end, I'm think of starting a new category of building. The L.O.A.P. build. These would be those kits we all built as kids but now just are not up to the accuracy standards of the modern day contemporary version.

The LOAP builds would include things like the SMER SPAD VII, the Tiger Moth, all the Aurora WW1, even the Revell 1/28 kits could be included. Build them as we did years ago, in about a day. No extra nothing just OOB but we might have to add new decals as the old ones would be shot. We would force ourselves to put our AMS, (Advance Modelers Syndrome), aside and just have fun. Rigging would be optional on LOAP builds.
I'm thinking my first LOAP build would be the olde Aurora Albatros DV.
Not bad in its day but certainly does not compare to anything resent and not worth the effort to correct. Well painted, it wouldn't look too out of place in the back on a shelf.
This could even be done as a GB.
BTW, the new category, LOAP stands for "Lipstick On A Pig".....
