Welcome to Papa695's Bi plane GB. Chat thread

Looking in my stash there are a few vacforms still lurking, like this

This was later injection moulded by MPM/Special Hobby, so this will remain unmade!
Rareplanes were one of the 'garage' makers, that most of the vac-forms came from. Some of the models were quite sophisticated, like those by Esoteric & some were basic in the extreme - I had a 1/32 ID Models Westland Wyvern - there was a model in there, but would need years of work to refine it!
Good old days - 1/72 models would weeks to make interspersed by days waiting for paint to dry!

I've got a couple of possibilities..... An Eduard 1/48 ProfiPack C.II or the B-534....a Czech 1930s biplane....same vintage as the Gladiator and NO rigging!!
 
Get one of these,
sw5a.jpg build it - then "of course it's rigged! can't you see it?". Joking aside, I bet there's someone out there who can do it!

There was an octogenarian on a club display at the Midland Air Museum show last week who had rigged several 1:144 biplanes, with fishing line. He'd also made a motorbike in the same scale - with spoked wheels, fishing line again!
When I can figure out to to move photos from my new phone to the computer I'll post them.

Right, I'm in. I have permission to sign up as, I believe, Father Christmas will be nice to me. Quite what my subject will be - I have no idea. But I did explain clearly, what a bi-plane is. This could go one way or the other !

He'd also hand painted lozenge camo:

Sorry, I thought I'd photographed the rigging and the motorbike, but apparently not - my new phone had other ideas.
