My recent modelling history includes the recent completion of the Dragon Fokker DVII, current
project is the Eduard Fokker EIII, and the next project is the Pegasus Sopwith 1= Strutter.
I have just purchased the Aeroclub FE.2b in 1/48 - and it's brilliant - albeit very expensive in
Australia (AUS$56.00). Mind you I didn't flinch when I opened the box.
All major parts (wings & cockpit etc) are excellently molded in plastic. Engine, major struts,
guns and other smaller bits are supplied in white metal. The detail on these is very good - there
is a bit of flash but so what! The tail booms are built using supplied wire an strut material.
Aeroclub have thoughtfully sipplied a vacform template for the booms. The decals are nice and
thin with markings for "The Scotch Express" and "Zanzibar No1". The instructions are what you
expect - good written building description with an accompanying plan (very good). I went to
buy the Windsock Datafile on this plane but it seems to be out of print (Is there any generous
souls out there?).
