Cool. We also have one at our local museum. Sopwith Triplane | The Hangar Flight Museum

They run out of red paint?

No Snoopy?

Snoopy is lurking in a red fokker dr1 in the sun.

That's cool stuff indeed. Do you know if the rotary engine is an original or new build?

That's one Aurora kit I would liked to have had. Never found one, though. And to my knowledge SMER has not reissued it. I think I only had the Nieuport 11 and the Breguet.

Dude, I built that one!

 

[MIflyer]

I had the Aurora Ne11 and Breguet, and the Hawk Nieuport 17C, SPAD 13, and Albatros V. I got a SMER Nieuport 11, DR1, and DH-2.

Beautiful

 

[Gnomey]

Very cool!

I'd have loved to have built a Albatross C-3 or Halberstadt CL-2. Never saw any in the stores that I can recall. Aurora's WWII airplanes were so crude but their WWI kits sure looked right.

I do love the design and colour of that

Reminds me of an old Jag. All wood and green.

British design at its best. Sigh. Them weres the days.

 

[SaparotRob]

Am I the only one who thinks there's but one color for a Jaguar?

 

[The Basket]

We talking about a Jaguar the car, the cat or the jet?

It's odd to think that this death trap was once the X-Wing of its day. The F-22 of 1916.

Love the design. Has an elegance.

Sorry, no I don't.
