Completed - the 2025 "Aces Mounts" Group Build!

[DaddyO]

Right having started with good intentions of Collins Albatros D1 for this GB, but having to make a change in scheme at the last minute I feel I ought to chip in with something which actually qualifies 

Looking through my 'started, but put aside' builds I realised that I'd got to the decaling stage of Eduard's 72nd DVII in Udet's famous candy striped scheme. Since this one hopefully won't take too much effort to complete it'll share the bench with a 72nd Sopwith Snipe that's also been started to give a late war pairing (Not decided on which scheme for the Snipe; currently it's a choice between a couple of 4 Squadron AFC 'planes with early fin/rudder and ailerons)

ps The Albatros DIV conversion is set aside for the moment since I've had enough of Albie's for the moment

Hello all - we're into the home stretch of this group build - now is time for the final push!  There's still time for those final completions to get over the line!

Tally ho, chaps!

Cheers,

Only a day or so left folks - there's still time for those that love a 24 hour blitz build, heh!

Well, that's a wrap folks!  The second and final 2025 group build is officially complete!

My sincerest thanks to everyone who participated - the quality of builds and encouragement along the way has been outstanding, thanks to you all!

For those that didn't quite finish their builds (yours truly included), please continue to post progress and completions here. I would love to see you complete those started Aces mounts!

I will put together a bit of a summary and pictures of the final completions here within the next week or so.

Now taking ideas for the next group build in 2026!

Thank you all again!
