Have been thinking about an aircraft project to span the Great War build, for a while now. My mind was made up by the arrival of two beautifully made wooden props from Alexei Belov (Proper Plane, Kyiv).
These have been a year in the making, and I have been hanging on waiting for them to arrive.
I will build 2 planes by two famous aces whose fates were entwined during the Great War. Lanoe Hawker was killed after a dogfight with Manfred Von Richthofen. Both were highly decorated pilots.
Neither of the planes I will build were involved in that duel - I may return to that theme later.
I have a number of decals and aftermarket parts already in the boxes for these two. So will start in the coming weeks!
