Just realized, after looking at that colour plate again, that I could have gone to the larger size? :cry:

That bat is cool! Nive to see a different color scheme then the usual RFC/RAF one.

My grandson would love this! He is into Batman right now .... big time. Looking quite nice. Isn't this a BI-plane?

Thanks all.

Borg - yes, the Academy kit comes with markings for a nice-looking machine with red & white stripes. But a quick google search shows that pretty much EVERYONE builds that kit. I just couldn't let myself do that!! :D

BsYamato - I seem to be on a bit of a biplane kick right now myself. (they take up less display space!!)

LyleW - yes, biplane, I just wanted to get that bat-decal on the bat-biplane BEFORE driving myself batty with the upper wing.

Thanks! Just found out that this evening's softball schedule has been rained out, so I may get some bench time. :D

Awesome job! Thanks also for the memories; I built one of those way back when I was seven. Of course, it certainly looked far more crude than this does, this is a great masterpiece!
