        I recently purchased the 1/8 scale SE5a kit by Hasegawa on Ebay, and although it was missing the plans I was able to obtain a copy from a fellow modeller in Nevada City, California.

        I performed a complete inventory and all parts were in perfect condition, as was the wood and plywood sheets.

        This will be my second build in the series as I built the Sopwith Camel in early 2008. There is a thread following this build elsewhere in the site. In time, I aim to build the Fokker to complete the series. (The fourth kit- the Wright Flier- is 1/16 scale.)

        I have undergone a hiatus from modelling since my workshop was converted into another bedroom (!), but I have just rented a space in an industrial building near my home and office and made it into my workshop. Now work can began on my next three projects- the SE5a, a Pocher Rolls Royce, and the creme de la creme, HMS Vanguard.

        Gentlemen, start your engines!

      Thanks. That's all the photos I have taken but I can take some more. Is there anything in particular that you would like to see?

      Lots of close up cockpit , gun and fuselage photos please these builds are very rare on line and the more photos that are available the better.

      Hello I am from the UK. I have just had exactly the same problem! Why were the plans removed?! Did you know on Ebay? I am currently 'talking' to the seller! Do you know how I could get a copy of the pages ( in English!)

      Many thanks

      Tony

      Hi Richard,

      I just stumbled across this site and joined up right away to view all the photos of your build. It is just fantastic. Your photos and comments will be such a help when I start my build.

      Seeing your final results makes providing those plans to you, well worth the effort. My hat is off to you.

      Bill from Nevada City Ca.

      Hey Tony, A belated welcome to the site to you. Looks like this one got by me.

      Hey Bill. Welcome to the site. I'm glad to see some more aircraft builders here. I look forward to seeing your work.

      Hey guys,

      I just happened to check into the forum today and saw your posts. I have not been modeling since I finished the SE5a as I have been concentrating on building furniture for a change.

      Bill, welcome to the site, and thanks for the compliments. Your plans were greatly appreciated and I was able to pass on the honor when Tony M (in the UK) was missing his set. So in a way your plans have passed from the US to Canada and are now residing in the UK!

      Isn't that exactly what model forums are all about?

      I will definitely check in from time to time to see how you are getting on, and if you need any help avoiding the pitfalls, you have my email address.

      Regards
      Richard.
