ID:	14126 G'day Chaps thought you might like to see a simple conversion using Ellwoods Camels to build up a full Flight for the above Squadron.
    Just adding Numbers to the Top wing & a red elevator to the Flight leaders plane. There will ultimately be five Camels & the pilots Roster is as follows:

    Flight Commander: Richard "Sticky" Triggers MC, Oxfordshire
    Deputy Leader: Flt Ltn. Robert "Dusty" Rhodes, Australia
    Flight Sub Ltn. Justin "Kiwi" Thyme, New Zealand
    Flt Sub Ltn. Hugh "Puddin" Gristhorpe, Yorkshire
    Flt Sub Ltn. Charles "Chuck" Waggon, Canada

    G'day Tom. They are some old Warhammer 40K Imperial Guard ones. Just the right size for wing Numbers.

    P.S. Note change in Nickname for Flight Commander. Rather appropiate with all the Gun Jams lately!

    A very nice and simple way to get a flight established Barry. How are you managing to still get all these Camels?

    Ahhh. Sometimes one can get "lucky"!
    I got the first one some time back from Nobel Knight in the US but just recently Colbatman was offered a job lot of 26 Aircraft from a mate of his in Canberra. Many had no manouver card or bases but included in the lot was 5 Ellwoods, & a couple of Fok Triplanes, lots of Pfalz, Albatross, Spads, Rumplers & Nieuports but alas NO Fok DV11s.

    Cost between $6 & $9 each depending on what was missing.

    Looks good, I like how you can use one plane type to make a squadron, instead of repainting them.

    Sounds like a very good deal Barry. You can pod off as many movement cards as you like from the files on here for the planes without them, and a bit of acrylic soon converts into a base.

    G'day Rob! Yes a great opportunity to enlarge the collection.

    I am waiting for the Col.'s Bases to come into stock as both Colbatman & self want some
