A small contribution from my 1:32 model making section. It is a SE 5a of the company Wingnut WIng, whose owner is none other than Peter Jackson, the maker of "The Hobbit" and "Lord of the the Rings". The models are excellent made and show a lot of details. Unfortunately I have no pictures of the construction phase, so I can only show the finished aircraft.
The SE 5a was a British fighterplane from the first World War. In this case it had a Hispano-Suiza geared V8 engine with 150 HP.
Flown by RAF 24 Sqn, 2nd Lt A.P.C Wigan, March 1918.
Here you can see how proud Lt Wigan is to fly such a beautiful machine.![IMG_0501.jpg IMG_0501.jpg](https://shipsofscale.com/sosforums/data/attachments/174/174155-1285d862eec5676954f4c8c844609eeb.jpg)
