Mitsubishi Ki-15 assembled.  Still haven't decided if I'm going to model the engine with individual cylinders and then make a cowl to fit over, or if I'll turn the engine and cowl as a single unit.

Excellent start to an interesting project.

The Cessna O-2B also belongs to this post due to it's being an observation aircraft when in military colours.
Parts have been cut and the undercarriage partially assembled. More to come.

Another completed project. The serial number 21469 is one provided by Garet.

One more to add to the list of observation aircraft is Dave's excellent Kingfisher.

Thanks Lou. Only one to go, the Curtiss Seagull, to complete the series of four Navy float planes.

This not part of cookup but here are a couple of photos of a vintage pre-WW2 Skybirds L.V.G. C.V observation aircraft 1:72 model recently offered on ebay.

I saw a seller on eBay who carves basswood and balsa aircraft. He had over a hundred of them for about $15.00 to $25.00 each, they are painted and rather rustic, but he does have buyers.

Wasn't there some talk about a WWI cook-up?

Are you game once you have your naval force completed?

Who me?

Yes. I think Ray wanted to narrow the subject a little (German, Fokker, fighters, 1:72 scale?). Anything WWI is okay with me.

1/72 Scale is good for me too. Anything will be a challenge if it's a biplane.

A spotter aircraft I neglected to post here is my Piper L-4 and Cessna 182. Both are 1/32 scale.
