Latest plane received
« on: May 21, 2008, 11:27:09 AM »
a new latest sticky :) Always thought it's a pity to see going lost in the "Latest mini" thread all the lovely planes the folks are buying. Here are two beauties I've received today:

A Nieuport 23, that appearence is of the Bolshevik 15th RAO 1919.



And the famous Sopwith Schneider (developed from Tabloid)

No, that was two Caudron GIIIs and two Henri Farmans of some description, I believe.

The Schneider's moment of glory was a bombing raid on a Zeppelin base.

Shit. That looks old, and expensive. I want it.

Does it look like a decent kit?


Edit: Just found one on eBay. Starting bid 20 bucks. Nah, I've got enough bloody planes to build. Get thee behind me, Satan...
