Build the chessboard! Red triplanes are a dime a dozen ;)

Any more takers out there?

It'll go perfectly with the Camel!

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

yeah, some day I really gotta get my Revell 1/28 one built

Great! OK, so it's looking like:

VickersVandal
MarkyM607
Gregers
splash
Daz Daman
Fredk
Jssel (possibly)

This could get up and running.

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.

I have not been able to find a Fokker Dr1 in my LMS or my local Hobbycraft.

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'd be up for this, the old Airfix DRI, converted into Vos's F1, got me back into Modelling, I have a 1/28th Revel one in the stash.

Found a little something a the Milands Air Museum. Coventry and Warwickshire IPMS Model show....

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

Better get mine out of the loft!

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

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