    Stunning, a beautiful display, and I'm assuming they are all the Revell classic 1:28 Scale Tripes? Which Museum is this in Rick?
Cheers,

You are correct in the scale and kit Lance. If I am not mistaken Ed has his Triplane display at the San Diego Aero Space Museum. The Udet Triplane was built to replace his Damaged award winning Triplane in the display.

Thanks to Rick for posting  and for all the compliments.  As Rick noted they are permanently on display at the San Diego Aero Space Museum and are all (1/28) National award winners If you look carefully at the adjacent case to the Left, you can just make out another of my 1/28 Tripes (425/17) in the dedicated to MvR Display Case.

Ed, having had the privilege of seeing most of these beauties in person, I can honestly say that even the best photography can't do justice to them. 
Cheers,

Incredible builds. I remember that old Revell kit from when I was a kid, I found it a bit of a mess compared to the Monogram and Tamiya I was used to at the time (but had to build it, because Monogram and Tamiya didn't do WWI aircraft).
