Don't you hate it when a post vanishes, and you have to redo it? Not as much as German pilots hated the weakness of the early Albatross Scout planes; a tendency to break up in mid-air.. so that's Krypton.
(Almost as much when you take a picture and spot a thousand errors in the paint job.. but enough complaints, it's time for the pictures.)
Some chap called Richtofen & some Recce also seems to have snuck in, so that makes a total of 17 x 1/144 aircraft, which are counted as 10mm vehicles @ 3 points each = 51 + 20 for Krypton for a total of 71.
It also gets me another Squirrel .. for a total of 12

"A tendency to break up in mid-air" - so what? Quitters! Pilots are such a bunch of whingers, always needing everything to be perfect.
Anyway, the WW1 aircraft always bring out romantic notions of air combat (even as the reality of course was grim and deadly enough, even without your craft simply breaking apart on you). I quite enjoy the bonkers markings on the planes themselves, nods to the now-distant notions of chivalry in war. I'll throw in a few bonus points for the markings. Cheers!
