Here's the Aurora SE-5 I built as a companion to Carlos' Camel. I should touch up some of the rigging holes. Someday. I built almost all of the Aurora kits when I was a flea and they were new. I came across four of the Gotha Bombers for cheap at a local hobby shop last year but haven't built one yet.

That looks GREAT John. WWI and WWII planes are by far my favorite planes.

Looks good John! What did you use for the rigging?
At one point in my childhood, I had that one and whole bunch of the other Aurora kits hanging from my bedroom ceiling in a swirling dogfight...

This did indeed turn out good John. I'm with Carlos on what the rigging is made out of.

That turned out really nice. Very nice rigging work, I like the paint work on the prop to achieve the wood appearance. Quite effective.

Great looking build of one of my favorite biplanes. I think I did the Monogram boxing of this kit along with the camel and maybe the Fokker DR.1 and that's the extent of my biplanes built 50 years ago lol. For the SE-5 I always loved the Vickers gun on top of the wing.

I see an SE.5 and I think of The Blue Max.
