Nice kite.  :-* The quickest way to find a missing object? Replace it!  :?

 Tried that just converted a figure and undercoated and based it,and the begger is still missing.
The plane is a four part kit( metal prop,and pilot.the plane is two resin parts).
I've also posted some pictures of it in the Great War section.

Oh dear, "Biggles Fails To Return" (which should establish my geeky credentials as I believe that was an actual WE Johns title).

Now thinking I need to find a 15mm Biggles, Bertie, Ginger and Algy.

Biggles Flies Low.

Better than that other obscure WE Johns title. Biggles- Compulsive Masturbator. "Ah! Biggles ejaculated". Goes on like that for two hundred and twenty-five pages.

Very nice work on the kite BTW.

Yes - Biggles Fails to Return is authentic. Got it in a set of books I bought recently but not got round to that one yet, so I can't enlighten you about the plot.

I'd say it was one of the few I haven't read, except he wrote so many I don't think I read more than half his Biggles books, and none of his other works.
