Okay, I lied. I actually slopped together a couple 1/72 kits ages ago but with no rigging so they don't count.

This was my first experience rigging a kit and after all the insanity i'm pretty proud of it. Will I do another? I don't know.

This is a 1/48 Roden kit. As of Thursday, Nov 6th, it will be on display for three months in the Museum of Flight as part of the North West Scale Modelers WW1 display. I'm excited to be a part of it.

Nice job on the SE5a. I just finished three WWI kits in the last week. An Aviatik Berg, a Seimens-Schukert and a Phoenix D.1, all 1/72 scale. The week before I finished a Junkers G32 (1/144) and a Fairey Fulmer (1/72)

That's great!. WWI kits are tough just because of the rigging and the small size, even for a 1/48th scale.
Nice work.
