Now, this could be cool and might bolster the cause for WWI aircraft.

Count me in as well. This one writes itself:

In 1/18 scale:

Fokker DR1
Spad XXIII

Sopwith Camel
Albatross

SE5A (2-blade prop with Wolsely Viper engine dammit!)
Fokker DVII

Wow, these things are really selling and the forum guys are going nuts clamoring for more, so:

Nieuport 17
Fokker Eindecker
Airco DH2

6 troops each, french, german, british, american
Renault tank
British Mk. 1 tank
German A7V Sturmpanzer
Trench playset

And of course some fanatic will be on a hunger strike for a Gotha with a 4ft wingspan. Wait a ninute, with a disassembled biplane, you might be able to get that in a 21st century airplane box. Ok someone will want a 12 foot long Zeppelin or something.

Ok that's all at 1/18, and probably all the planes would be done again in 1/48, 1/32, 1/144, etc. too.

Admiral, 21st and BBI,

Look at the response! This is a money maker baby!......come on now one of you has to respond.....Jason my main man we go way back (to last week)......this is a great idea! I might have to just make them myself...although I work in title insurance so my back ground is a little thin in this area...any backers want to jump on board?....

Can anyone shoot holes in this (no pun intended)......again who doesn't recognize a German triplane or a Camel?...they'd sell themselves.

Doubt we will ever see a bipe, believe it or not, I think producing a biplane would present more difficulties from a manufacturing point of view than just about any WWII bird, even some of the twins.
