Got this from Creative at a bargain price. Always loved WWI planes with a passion but often the models are a bit basic, as were the planes of course. But time to have a go. Boy there are so many tiny parts. A lot of the PE is unusable its so small and a dash of steel or aluminimum paint will do instead. But the Se 5 was the Hurricane to the Sopwith Camels Spitfire in terms of glamour IMO. So looking forward to it
Not many sprues
The cockpit is something else. So many tiny parts I lost count. A lot of PE but many of them were so small, full stop sized, that I didn't use them and replaced with steel or aluminimum paint dots instead. I've added the dash and a couple of other parts since this picture but there must be 15 plus parts in there. Like a very fragile Humpty Dumpty it took building in small steps to finally make it hang together and be stable. I'm still deciding whether to do the Night Fighter version shown on the box or a more "normal" camo look. The decals aren't very well printed and a bit dull. They might look OK so I'll decide later.
