Taking To The Air.

Whilst tidying my wargaming room I came across a plastic 1/48th scale(?) aeroplane kit , I think it's a Curtis 'Jenny' biplane , there were no instructions with it !? . I remembered I had got it to go with my 'Back Of Beyond' project and wanted a non descript two-seater that would do for any of the participants - hence no markings on it . In my distant youth I had been a quite a fan of constructing plastic WW1 aircraft kits so I thought I would glue it together . Hmm ! the years have not been kind to my aircraft building skills and it was a bit of a struggle (in fact it nearly ended up in the bin!) but I persevered and even stretched some sprue (over a candle - Ah ! that brings back memories - mainly of burnt finger ends !) to complete the rigging . Here we see the finished product with a couple of 28mm 'Copplestone' pilot figures ready for take off !
