Re: Review of AA37701 RAF SE.5a

Thanks for the info, Cardinal. These are "must have" for me, considering the paucity of WW I diecast at the moment. Seems that these will be more or less a fair deal at the US retail prices (not quite as good as C1, but cheaper), though I'm not so sure at the prices you mention (!?).

You're welcome FVD. I think that at US retail prices this range will offer good value for money and will hopefully spur interest in WW1 aviation - the 'plastic' looking prop is the one aspect that I feel detracts from what is otherwise a fine piece of diecast. (As I mentioned, the wire rigging is superb .)


Have a look at the flying WW1 aircraft located here in NZ:

Arguably the World's top WW1 Aviation Museum - also located in NZ (Peter Jackson involved):
