I was thinking of redoing it now that picked up a few parts off Brickbay. I thought for sure nobody would (...) (23 years ago, 14-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.military)

Hi Ben, I didn't know that Richthofen also flew a bi-plane. Your model is very nice and it is in fact lots of fun to transfer the "set of the year" into a own creation.
