Super subjects, and very nice paint jobs, especially the Felixstowe, the red and white would have been a nightmare? How much do they weight?

Not that I am complaing but they have not made a Sopwith Baby float plane!

They all look really good except for the wings. Why does Skytrex always over exaggerate the wing ribs?

That's the main downside of their models. I wonder how much work would be needed to tone them down....

I have raised this issue with Dave of Skytrex, and if it has as much influence as my request for the seaplane version of the Short bomber did, we should see one in the future releases.
I did ask for ideas to pass on to Dave some time ago, but got little response, so come on chaps lets have some requests, and I'll run a Poll of the favourites to get a concensus.

As in: "put the right bloody wings on the Short Bomber"?

Did mention it Gunners, and some fell on stoney ground.
