Nice one! Paint does seem a little thick and shiny (not helped by the lights) though...
 
certainly some newcomers to this category, probably another?

Bent wing Seafury...

It's always intrigued me how they were able to get wings to fold and maintain structural integrity and reliable control linkage. The deflected ailerons on that build got me thinking whether this was possible with the wings folded and, if so, how that would have worked. Not a bad build.
 
Good one!
 
Next up a rather tidy Sopwith Triplane

Gotta hand it to some of the novices. To have that much pride in your work to Show it. Just makes you wish you could be there to shake there hand and give em a goodonya!

There is a show coming up around here this month, 29th Oct Hornsby War Memorial Hall. Gotta go and see what they got.
 
Neatly done, especially for such a small model.
 
:)

And that the rear gunner's canopy slid inside when open, and that the codes should be Dull Red. But not a bad effort at all. I suspect he/she is not only a beginner, but fairly young too.
