Rick. Thanks for stopping by yes you are right about the box art I’ve passed over lots of kits due to the poor pics on the box art then paid more for a original box art I think it’s kinda silly but I’m like you the box art has to be appealing to get the mojo flowing for the build I think.
Beowulf. Thanks for stopping by yes I think I’m going to need some on this build

That kit seems to date back to 1958, but your particular issue isn’t in the timeline at Scalemates. Somewhere between 1969 and 1986, I would guess?
If the fit is okay, this shouldn’t be too long a build, going by the number of parts. But I suspect fit will be an issue with a kit that old

S.E.5A. My favourite WW1 aircraft.
My late dad made a balsa Keil Kraft version. It still hangs in my den.
Lee, you have to at least have a stab at the rigging. It's a pain I know, but well worth the effort. A Bi-Plane without doesn't quite fit the bill.
There again, at the end of the day, sanity must prevail.....

Jakko. This kiT came in at value pack from Lindburg I will enclose a pic came out a couple years ago and yes it back dates to 1958 I don’t think any mold changes were done I’m going to take a slow and possibly add some aftermarket stuff to it also Thanks for stopping by
Ron. I’ve heard of that balsa kit you mentioned your father having yes you are right bi planes just don’t have that appeal unless they’re rigged but it’s hard for me to rig the 1/72 scale I’ve been mapping out a game plan on this scale on Rigging and I think it will be easier on me let’s hope I can keep my sanity when this happens.

Painted the “linens” tonight. I went ahead and just painted the whole model in “linen” color for a good base primer

Hi Lee
I agree there is a certain sadistic pleasure in making a decent model from an old, rather unpromising kit. It will be interesting to see what you make of it. Looks as if you're off to a good start. As for the rigging - I did an Airco DH-2 and although it took me hours and drove me demented it was worth it.

Rick. I hope I can beat this into submission
John. Thanks for stopping by and be careful with the patient let him think he’s sane for now but I’m concerned about you forgetting patient’s numbers
Jim. Thanks for stopping. I really enjoy building these old kits and adding the aftermarket stuff to them to give them some glory. They remind me of a blank canvas you can make it anything with some care and time
Ron. You should know who’s the sane one in your conversation with John
I’ve got a feeling I will be calling on nurse Ratchet before this build is finish
Patient #309
