Thank-you, sir! I still have to get the circle-A decals for the prop, but other than that, stick a fork in her.

If you throw it into the wind just right, it will fly for a while:

That's a pretty little Fokker!

Thanks, John P! I wouldn't call it the mother of all Fokkers but it does the trick for me.

BTW: This is the ubiquitous--and very high qualilty--1/28th model kit of the DR. I that's been out forever.

Thought you said that you had some good pics. It looks you changed your mind and posted the fantastic ones instead. I think I've got the biggest part of the SE-5A companion kit some where. I've got to do some cleaning up and try to find all that ancient stuff and get it built/restored someday soon. I ain't gettin' any younger ya'know!

Thank-you, Luke! I just wish I'd figured out the proper thread (linen) and size thread for the cables (various) before building it.

I'd love to see the SE-5A kit done. Keep us posted.

Well, now I have a benchmark to aim for when I finally get around to building mine. Very nice work there Perfesser! :thumbsup:

BTW, if you add a pilot to that last photo, you could probably convince some people that some lunatic in a triplane was buzzing you the last time you went to the beach. :p

Thanks, Zombie!

I'll have to paste in a pilot somehow. The cockpit does look a little empty in that shot.

Damn! I was gettin' excited until I saw Dean Devlin's name associated with the film. Somehow, I think he's gonna try to re-write history and say WWI was started by alien dinosaurs. :freak:

I hope it will be good, anyway.

Who knows? Maybe soon we'll see a good remake of "Hell's Angels."
