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. Do you know the Fokker DR I from Vancouer / Canada: (URL) my personal version of (...) (25 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.contests)

(...) Thank you Drew for your praise. I had always wanted to build this model and spent three days constructing and reconstructing the plane. I am a perfectionist and not totally happy with the plane's fuselage and nose but it was really fun to (...) (25 years ago, 13-Dec-01, to lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.build.military)
