Revell 1/72 SE5a

Here are some pics of my 1/72 Revell SE5a. I'm building 1/72 scale kits just for fun, so im not so bothered if they aren't 100% accurate. It still needs some paint on some parts etc.

At first I intended to finish it with the decals included in the kit (D6877 41 Sqn. Lt McCall). But the decals were too old and dry so they disintegrated. So now im concidering finish it in the markings of Mannock or Beauchamp-Proctor.

Very nicely painted and in 72 scale to boot !

Anton...congrats on a nice looking build. I've got a couple of these laying around in the stash, and was thinking about just dumping them...now....maybe not.

Good luck with your rigging and final markings.

Anton,

That's very nice work! I like your colors, the finish, and the stand! Have fun with the rigging.

You may want to check out the 1/72 scale Orion "Pilots of the First World War" figures. (Available here; and here's a good photo.)

I think that a pilot would look great in your SE5a. I used a couple of the figures in my Glencoe MB-2 a few years ago:

Oh I loved these 1/72 Revell kits - built tons of them - later we used many
of them for table top wargaming.
They weren't terribly accurate kits....but not terrible kits!

Looks nice - they were quite fun to built and paint up.....alas
age creaps up.....the sight starts gooing a little.....I should still
be able to build a Revell kit....but not say a Pegasus.
