I've been looking at First World War model kits, mainly the Camel and SE5 - I also saw the old Revell 1/28th scale Camel at a reasonable price recently, which I remember building and detailing back in around 1964, which, then, was a 'big' model, and very detailed for the time - and I'd like to add one to my 1/32nd scale collection, but as I have enough kits to last me to beyond the grave, I know it would just sit in the stash and not get built, unless it takes the place of a kit that should get built for one of my 'theme' collections.
I do have a part done 1/48th scale SE5a though, intended for my 56 Sqn History Collection which I should finish, and also a Bulldog and Gladiator, for the same collection, so I suppose I'll have to go 'biplane' eventually. It must be 35 years since I last completed a biplane model, and that was a Stampe, built for a friend who owned the example I used to get to fly now and then.
Having watched this build, and Wayne's Fokker D.VII and Andy's 'Stringbag', it's sparked some enthusiasm for the 'stick and string' kites, so I might just break out the Bulldog for my next build, after all the commission and 'catch-up' work has been completed.
This place is a bad influence, bad I tell you ............
