[b]Your mentioning wings slewing through 90 degrees brings to mind my first OT and second ever kit the Airfix Camel. Certainly not a bad kit, it's still in production after fifty years after all, but it was 1958 and I was only eleven. I built the Airfix Stuka in the morning and the Camel in the afternoon. Both were painted the same shade of green granddad had used on the back door that same day.
The WWI Modelers mailing list voted the Merlin Salmson S2A2 the world's worst I remember. I haven't built that one but I did have a go at the same manufacturers Nieuport 12. No kit is unbuildable but this one comes near as makes no difference. I ended up carving the fuselage into a N10 and scratchbuilding everything else. The words Merlin and Kit should never be used in the same sentence.

You sure your granddad used the correct Methuen shade for that green backdoor?
