Ewen Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 My Xmas present from the wife and kids finally arrived today. My wife originally thought Id been dropping hints of socks with camels on, but my son put her right. Its pre-built, 30" (760mm) wingspan. Not too shabby, lots of metal bits and proper doped wings and body. Its not perfect, but not bad considering its from DieCast Legends.

Pete Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Funny - we were just having a conversation on the way home at how amazing it was the length of engineering they must have had to go to so that the guns didn't shoot the front prop off. Quite bizarre really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite bizarre really. You are obviously in tune with fellow forum members to an almost preternatural degree. As in synch with posts, as the guns in question are with the prop. Definately mod material if you ask me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Thats very nice. Watched flyboys the other day. Talk about historical inaccuracy Every German aircraft was a Fokker DR1 Triplane painted in red and the yanks dived down to attack the high altitude zeppelins. Another crud war film from the yanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
