Once again, another Shelf Queen got finished. This is the ancient Airfix kit of the British SE.5 from World War I:    This one had been languishing for a lot longer than the RAF Rescue Launch. I've had this one sitting on the bench for over ten years. I've always liked this plane; it's one of my top three favorites from WWI. Thanks for looking in, comments are welcome.

Thank you everyone! It was a fun little plane to build. I had fun.
Joe, the propeller is all paint. I used a wood color first and then striped it with a dark brown using a very fine brush.

Thank you Ian! Sometimes it's tough for me, but occasionally I dabble...
