* also featuring Tim's terrible triplanes and mangled Morane monoplanes.
John B very kindly passed me this box of veterans at COW a few weeks ago. The Demon I came up with an immediate plan for and the Albatross looked useful too. I was delighted to see the Morane as I didn't have one! The others have been passed to PHW who has also borrowed the Morane for some photos.
The Morane - an old Revell kit I believe - was in pretty good shape. I have
previously bodged one from a Fokker E1 but it's nice to have a 'real' one. I firmed up the attachment of some extremities. The decals were flaky but looked largely salvageable and several coats of varnish gave a respectable finish.
Been missing your Awful Alliteration Tim. Looks like some useful rescues, I like the idea of the Demon.
ReplyDeleteJust saw some triplanes in Hobby Lobby in Sarasota yesterday. They looked ideal, except for the propeller which was too large, for VBCW
