The results are in for the "Aces Mounts" 2025 Group Build!
« on: December 24, 2025, 08:03:24 AM »
Hi all - apologies for the delay, the results for the "Aces Mounts" 2025 Group Build are in!

We had a total of 18 participants who registered their builds using the "Group Build" title as per the group build rules (up from 11 in the last group build). That being said, a few folks were cheeky and didn't quite label their completed build threads correctly, so after a trawl of each completed build since the start of August, I determined we had 14 completions -  well done everyone, a great result! (A special mention goes to Tim Mixon, who had 3 completions alone - well done Tim!).

Here's the completions that I had tracked through the "under construction" and "completed models" section - (PLEASE let me know if I forgot someone):

1/32 WnW Fokker D.VII, Lothar Von Richthofen - Nigel R:


1/72 Albatros C. IX, Manfred von Richthofen - Tim Mixon:


1/72 Roden Albatros D.III, Joachim Von Bertrab - Skyhook:


1/32 WnW SE5a, Arthur Rhys-Davids - Scaleber:


1/72 Eduard Fokker D.VII, Ernst Udet - DaddyO:


1/48 Eduard Nieuport 17, Raoul Lufbery - Allan31:

1/48 Eduard Nieuport 17, Rene Dorme - Monty:


1/32 Roden Nieuport 28, Eddie Rickenbacker - Nigel R:


1/32 WnW SE5a, Duncan Grinnell-Milne - Mike Norris:


1/32 WnW Sopwith Triplane, Raymond Collishaw - PrzemoL:


1/32 WnW Fokker E.III, Hans Buddecke - FokkerFodder:


1/72 Pegasus Macchi M5, Alberto Bortolozzo - Tim Mixon:


1/72 Pegasus Albatros D.III (Oef), Franz Peter - Will Levesley:


1/72 OEFFAG MICKL type H, Gottfried VonBanfield - Tim Mixon:


Thanks again to everyone who entered! If, like me, you didn't complete your build, then please feel free to continue your build logs in the "under construction" section and post those completions when done.

I am finding that these group builds are getting good up-take so I would like to kick a new one off in January - now taking your thoughts / ideas for the next one!

Merry Christmas and a safe holidays everyone!



Cheers!

Thanks Allan for adding that one in - I must have missed it as I don't think the GB was mentioned in the build or completion threads, but hey, very happy to add this beauty to the tally!  ;D

Cheers,

All super builds and a joy to behold.
If I had to kick the tyres , don the flying helmet and take off, the Noop 28 would be my steed of choice.

Well done all.
