Hope we are both right.

This hung from the air, posed as if attacking George, it even had original bullet holes!

Kurt,

Show us some more pics and give details of what you have done and plan to do. That should get the flow happening.

Re: new guy from australia

Hi phil, i was originally going to build the whole aircraft but unfortunately ran out of room to build it .The whole project has come to a halt for the moment.If i build the complete mockup i intended later on to donate it to a museum.I still have to detail the aircraft more ,for example the canopy is not finished yet and the tail section with tail wheel has to be constructed to complete the fuselage section.I picked the north african colour with black double chevron of oberleutnand adolf dickfield,gruppenkommandeur 11/JG2.later on when i get time i will have to get some more pics taken,thanks for the reply. jeff.

Re: new guy from australia

Thanks Francis, Looking good Kurt, I bet the museum's will be after it. I would really like to see it finished and a flying version would be better.

No just mind building and perving,

Love the WW1 stuff and fast aero jobs like the AR5. But a FW replica comes is also plane horny

Planning a glider week soon, using a Falke motorglider to build hours and get fundamental skills.

Would love to do a Aerodrome Fokker DVIII as a first build.

Affordable and fun.

Phil

Re: new guy from australia

I would DVIII 75% replica and would be definitely for flying, right down to replica machine guns.

May even have airpowered guns with paintballs for fun.

Check out Airdrome Aeroplanes ~ Holden, MO

This is the look I am after
