Roden 1/32 SE5a -the build

[StephenLawson]

Thank you Rick and Kofoed for your kind words. I have invited Alex to show up and comment if he will.

Stephen,
I don't think I can be of much help. I've toldyou everything I know about G-M's SE. Anything in particular?

[StephenLawson]

Alex! Glad you came by. Anything on the SE 5a particularly the Wolseley variant, its radiator etc. Your treatise on the subject in Folland's Fighter Supreme in Aeroplane Monthly was "the" text on the subject. Your High and Empty Blue is the expanded view of that work and will not soon be eclipsed.

[Kofoed]

Hello Stephen,

Long time - no see! How are you doing? And how is the SE5a doing?
After summer, I think I'll start on mine. Right now I'm working on my Alb. DIII.

Cheers
Kofoed

Greetings Kofoed;
I was doing great then I came to the radiator. Wow! even the louvres are individual pieces. I will post more uh er soon?

Here are some more images of the Se 5a build. The deeper I go with my references the more I discover. Warning folks one of the propellers is for the Hispano - Suiza variant.


Even Part of Poland only provides the Lewis gun Foster mount For the Hisso.

Greetings all. I figured I better show some progress too. Here are some kit and Part of poland replacement items.


While many details are still being prepped from the Part of Poland fret here are some basic installations.

Many thanks for pointing out the differences between mounts. That sort of info is damn handy and has been duly saved.

Cheers!

Hello Stephen,
Thank you very much for these pieces of information. I haven't thought about that Part only provides the Foster mount. This is an excellent reference. And your build looks great.

Thanks
Kofoed

Here is a bit of fun on the Part of Poland PE wire wheels.
