The Proctor kits are outstanding, but definitely for the experienced R/C modeler!

It's a superb kit. I've seen a few of them fly, and they are just lovely. My kit is still waiting for the day for me to start work on it, though. It looks pretty intricate, for sure.

Hello
What kit do you have Lyle?
A Fok V5/D8 was posted here a while back from someone that was as close to being flawlessas I have ever seen.
Anyhoo I would want mine static display for as much as they cost and all the authentic detail it would be ashane to cover all that. Plus I would be afraid to fly it.

be well

Hi chip55,
The Nieuport 28 from Proctor has a few very slight compromises for a flying model, but as far as appearance goes it's right on. Another option if you want a bare-bones model is to check out the Model Airways Nie 28 which is much smaller, at 1/16 scale. It's not a flying model but it's scale. Plus it's a lot cheaper than what most Proctor kits go for!

Is there a Nieuport 28 in your crystal ball, David?
