Hi Ross

The source I have is The Aerodrome Forum, under ACES, they have a full list of aces from WW1, including Squadron, Kills, What they flew, what they shot down, medals earned, plus plenty of other discussions on historical facts and aircraft within the forum itself.

Hi Guys

I had a rapid change of plan, I will still paint the Billy Bishop figure, but I have now gone for the other superb MC figure of Werner Voss, having done a bit of reading and found a couple of pics, I have decided to show Voss with his passion for motorcycles, I have started scratch build a 1910-1911 German Wanderer Motorcycle in 1/32 scale, albeit only a section of the cycle. I intend to call it Low Flying, following his push for speed and flight, first pics below, still loads of work to do, but its getting there....

That's a neat idea Dave. It's a nice fig too. Should be a fun project.

Go on, build the whole bike! You know you want to! Why have a whole figure and half a bike?

Thanks guys, its a challenge and I think worth the effort.....

@ Bob - OK I will meet you half way, I have extended the frame back to where I started with the whole of the tank included but thats as far as I am gonna go and yes it will include most of the engine, having found some cracking pics of the engine now, just mite not be able to get the same amount of fins on the cylinders as the original, but I am giving it a go.
