Mike Dowling Posted September 2, 2018 Author #130 Posted September 2, 2018 Just to let you all know I have now completed the Albatros as well complete this time with a fully working control stick. Practice makes perfect don't you know ! I still have the Curtis Jenny in my stash to do and have been trying to find a Nieuport at a reasonable price but no luck so far. Sometimes I wish I lived in the US - so much cheaper there.

Mike Dowling Posted November 5, 2018 Author #136 Posted November 5, 2018 Just in case anyone out there is still interested I did manage to source some 1/16 scale pilots to go with my models. Horrible price but for me they just make things complete and well worth it. They are WW1 pilots and were purchased unpainted. hexnut, Jack12477, GrandpaPhil and 11 others 14 Quote Current build : Gorch Fock Occre Completed non-boat build 1/16 Model expo Sopwith Camel - in shore leave.

Mike Dowling Posted November 7, 2018 Author #138 Posted November 7, 2018 John, I thought you would ask. It's a new setup called Real Model Pilots. They have some designs but will do bespoke as well. They are all done bu 3d printer and whilst they look a bit rough out of the box they paint up nicely. They will paint them for you at a price !!!!Have a look at their website www.realmodelpilots.co.uk Good luck. cog, jablackwell, popeye the sailor and 2 others 5 Quote Current build : Gorch Fock Occre Completed non-boat build 1/16 Model expo Sopwith Camel - in shore leave.

Karl Konrad Posted April 21, 2019 #140 Posted April 21, 2019 @Mike Dowling Wow! It really looks like it’s coming together well! What exact paints did you use so far? mtaylor, popeye the sailor and Mike Dowling 3 Quote
Mike Dowling Posted April 28, 2019 Author #141 Posted April 28, 2019 I use revell aqua paints mostly but vallejo for the skin tones. Where gloss is required on models I don't think you can beat Humbrol enamels.
