For sure! In fact I thought that was your plan all along.

I checked the stash and I had no triplane kit. Shocking!
I have since remedied that and through the miracle of eBay, a Roden kit should be on its way to me shortly. I was forced, forced I tell you!, to get a camel and a bristol fighter along with it.

Mail order or eBay time? The Revell kit looks to be quite decent, if you're after 1/72 that is.

The eBay seller was out of the Roden Triplane so they agreed to send me the Eduard kit at no additional cost since I had ordered and paid. Stoked!

All ready to go for this GB.

I've got that one in the stash (albeit a different box). Was tempted to do it but it's outside my usual remit (and would look all wrong with the other movie models!)

Just a reminder that October will be on us sooner than we think, and with it the Triplane GB, so it will be time to warm up those Oberursels soon :-D :-D

I'm going out to the stash shortly to retrieve my kit so it can sit there and inspire me between now and Sunday week :grin:

And just putting this here so I don't lose track of it...
