OK, all you fellow forumites. The cooler weather is returning, and I'm sure that many of you are returning to building at the busy workbenches. What are you all building? What's cooking down in your secret labs? Any unusual subjects? Just a curious modeler looking for ideas.....

Hi

The Roden Gotha G IV stands here half ready, a Handley Page 0/400 from 214 Sqdn just left of for his first bombingtrip to Zeebrugge, where they are finishing a HB W29 and Albatros W4 seaplane in defence. *;D
And I still would like to get my hands on a Riesenflugzeug of RFA 501. *As soon as I can leave my bed a little bit longer. *Grumbl ! *>

Wishing you all great modeling dreams,

Best from Regulus *

Of course I still have a wooden model of 110 cm to finish from the HMS Victory, within the first few years. *:'(

And still in their boxes over here : the Fokker DIII of Lt. Albert Reusch of the I Marine Schlasta, the Pfalz DIII of Armin Undiener of the MFJ, the Fokker EV of

Gotthard Sachsenberg, an undecided naval Albatros DI and another undecided Roland CII. :'(

Amodel SPAD SA.2 is almost ready for painting. Once I figure out the best way to scratch the rudder's control "horns".

Flashback Sopwith 1.B1 is being corrected. The fuselage "plug" Flashback provides for the French version is wrong. The "stringer effect" should continue about 8mm more toward the cockpit.

Those are the two I'm most concentrating on. There are others in progress, of course.

Yesterday I've scratched u/c legs for my Camel, and glued some PE bits.
I'm also doing some works with HR resin Fokker D.II and Ludemann's Nieuport 24. All 1/72.
Of course many others are waiting, half built...

An arranged pic of the models and kits I have touched in the last week. I snapped the undercarriage off the Czechmaster DH5 because it was skew if, I have been doing that kit forever. The Airfix Biff is the current focus, it's fuselage got closed on Monday and the backend banana peeled yesterday. I told myself I wasnt going to open up the engine but I did. It ended up with a scratched engine in there and all the appropriate holes cut out of the engine cowl.

The Roseplane Martinsyde is getting it's back smoothed. The seat dried crooked in it, so the fuselage was reclosed. The CSM Snipe I have been doing forever it is an ASM project. Any addition to it on my part, requires 30 mins of datafile study first. The Hasegawa P40 was a slammer done for the sake of building to completion. The Olive Drabs are mismatched and I sprayed the kit in dull overcoat after the canopy was attached. Didnt know it made the canopy frosted.

The Biff will most likely be the next one finished, it currently has some momentum.

Great efforts, guys. Once I finish up a Tamiya Mossie and a V-1 for reviews on another Website as a favor to the editor, I'll be tackling a couple of Fokker Tripes, a DH-2 from Pegasus, and an Albie DIII OAW. Hope to have them all done before this coming March. Model on, gentlemen!!

Hi Stephen,

And as I told you before, I still love it enormously ! I said it and will say it again, I think you did a wonderfull job on it.

And I'm pretty jealous of it !

I'm actually hard working on the Roden 1/72 Fokker EV (Belgian "Butin de guerre" version); and first steps are made on an Eastern Express 1/72 Siemens Schuckert D IV, the Eduard 1/48 Nieuport 17 and Nieuport 23. A Revell 1/72 P-51B will follow. What will follow is undetremined: I change my mind all the time...
