A Staaken would be nice, of course. But that would cost around 1000 US $. I think you could buy a lot of Fiat's for that.









(And before you start shooting me: I drive a FIAT myself. Not a 500, but still a FIAT. I am allowed to make that kind of jokes, you see)

How about the Caproni Ca.3, this would make a perfect subject for Wingnuts to produce as a kit.

Hi y'all!
BTW, do we get to win something if we are right? Like in horse races. Give the names of the winners in the right order, with a choice of 3, 5 or more??? ;D

I'd say Hanriot HD1.

Let the best man win!

Ciao

Ca3 would be brilliant - very interesting design and though it would be big in 1/32 I dont think it would be unmanageable at all (wingspan I think about the same as the Gotha)

The Staaken would not only come with a nice price tag, but with 1,32 meters of wingspan (!) on top...

The first problem would be how to get it past the door into the mancave. No, sorry, the first would be getting it inside the FIAT.

Actually a friend's scratch build in 1/32nd scale he gave up on and said here you take these.... Honestly I don't know what to do with them as I will never finish this beast.......... Maybe Des would like to take a shot at finishing her????

Just to give some idea of wingspans for these 'large' models, some already produced and some are possibilities (hopefuls)

AEG G.IV            57cm
Felixstowe          91cm
Gotha                73cm
Caproni Ca.3      72cm
HP. 0/400          93cm
Staaken           132cm

I would need to build a whole new room just to display all of these if they were made into models  ???

Hmmmmm .... Something right out of left field, but how about the Sablatnig SF3? After all there is already this wonderful Steve Anderson painting (WNW box artist), which graces the cover of the latest Jack Herris release....
