[WWI] Added:Rumpler Taube

[Joel Christy]

  Dear All,
   
  Thanks for all the positive comments about the Rumpler Taube. To answer some queries; the wingspan is 11cm or 4 1/2 inches, no I do not have a shrinking machine nor am I insane.  All the rigging is hot stretched sprue.  It really is 1/144, not 1/72. For more, see  http://wingsandwires,piczo.com  and click on German Aircraft to see the Otto Doppledekker I made about the same time as the Taube.
   
  There is also a new , SCRATCH BUILT 2, essay. It shows the basic techniques that I have used for most of my 1/144 scale models. By the way, my collection of 60 plus models fits on two small bookshelves in our living room. Who else can say that!
   
  Cheers,
   
  Joel

>Wow indeed! 

1/72 scale and all that rigging and other detail. I have a hard enough
time with 1/48 scale birds.
