Most of you might remember the Eduard Fokker D.VII Royal kit build about a year ago? Both our good Aeroscale member Mal & Jean-Luc are tied up in personal projecst right now and I am looking for another couple of wingnuts to help with a similar build. Right now its in the works but hold on to your hats.

Ok I freaked you out. How about I change the title to "needed two commited modelers" ?

Sorry, but I'm already committed to the hospital and I can't do much with this white coat and long, long sleeves on it! The people here have a tendency of tying it up behind my back, too!

G'day Stephen - what are the proposed start / finish dates for the builds? I may be able to assist depending on how the dates work out - if I am up to the appropriate standard to assist of course!

How long did it take for you to do the 1/32 Albatros? Start to finish.

Here is an interesting development Our own MerlinV has shown more than a mild interest. How about it Hugh? I could have three modelers besides me working on this. I want you guys to know the builder in me is tempted to do them all!!! But It is best for us all if I get a Kette together and we fly in formation.

MerlinV?
Truth be told If Brad joins in I can come up with a fifth kit. . . Roden has given me 5 @ 1/32 scale kits for review. Merry Christmas! Model On!
The rest of you don't forget the builds and Campaigns your in. I still have kits to give away for the contest!

Hi Stephen!
Did Roden sent 5 different models or will you all build the same kit but with different markings? Anyway, I'm very excited about this and I wish you and your crew good luck with this project! I will follow it with great interest!

G'day Stephen,
The Alb took about 5 months (that was interrupted by a month break while I moved house)...
1/32 may be a bit of a problem for me - no where to store the finished model!!

BC

Hmmm,
Can I fit it in?
I am already at the stage where I have dropped my intended early bird build (it was the "Taper Winged" camel by the way) and am just going to use a work in progress, and will be struggling to get my between the wars entrant even part way there.
What are the subjects (is one of them perhaps a Hisso powered SE5a?)? That will be a deciding factor for me.
Cheers,
Hugh

There are 5 different kits. I wish I had you with me in this Jean-Luc, but I totally understand the requirements of a new father. Maybe next time mon ami?

Hugh we are looking at a Post new years start around Jan. 31st 2008. Sorry no Hisso SE 5a and I was thinking of taking the Viper powered one for me. BUT What we do have is all of the Roden 1/32 except the Pfalz D.III as its been done.
1@ Fokker F.I
1@ Fokker D.r.I (Kalt has seemed interested in doing Jacobs 450/17.)
1@ Fokker D.VI
1@ Alb. D.III
1@ Se5a Viper powered.
The theme is evident, "Building Big Biplanes."

Okaaaay...
Then it will not interfere with what I already have going... Might be nice to do for a change of pace.
Might be intersted in doing the F1... I have a photo of that some where in Clear Doped Linnen.
What are the requirements of the build?
Does it have to be OOB?
What is the time limit?
Cheers,
Hugh

Alright you scruffy bunch of modelers PM me your current home addresses so I can start this rolling. I will probably send these out after the Christmas holidays . It will give me a chance to "preview" the kits here out of the box.

WOW, I am really very flattered to be included in this.
Damn! Six month hey?
It will be good to do a build that doesn't have buckets full of rigging. I am looking forward to getting involved in this.
Thanks Steve (HEAPS) for the opportunity.
Cheers,
Hugh

Greets Wing Lead,
I would be glad to but I am moving cross-country in a week. I have some projects already committed to when I get there, and do not know if I could make the July deadline yet. I can probably tell you yea or nay in a fortnight times two. I know that's wishy-washy, but the best I can do right now.
How far are you from Albuquerque?
