Even better, they did a 1/8 series which is truly magnificent. I've lusted after their 1/8 SE5a for years.

My mate Ken Wynn back in NZ has the 1/8 Fokker Dr.I in his study and it is absolutely, (pardon my French) fucking spectacular.

That's kind of neat Couchy.

Have a go at making your own model aircraft though, it's far more satisfying, you can build the exact plane you want with the markings you want and the kids get a kick out of it too.

They end up looking better too ;-)

I have a coffee table to work on. All my kits are at home with my paints and brushes. I have to tanks under my brush ready for weathering and final assembly. They have sat like that for a year. I have four Tamiya aerosol cans on top of my desk ready to go. War Room shelves are full of my kits. I ummed and aahed for a day whether to take it out of the box, only to pack it up in three months for a move... Had to do it.. Now it is taking up more floor space that it needs to...

I have seen a b-2 4and an Avenger sitting side by side at Kermit Weeks place, they are not too dissimilar in size, the Avenger folds so it takes less space but it is one big assed bird !

Folding wings.. That's what I need!

I might have a crack at weathering the P-47. I have a couple of Tamiya sets here ready to go.

I sprayed my 1/48 Sherman Firefly in the shower on some cardboard. Green powder over EVERYTHING. That is another reason why the model making tapered. I have a store room without a light...but too dusty..
