Well, I've decided on my first project. I have a lot of kits to choose from, but instead I think I'm going to scratchbuild a Bleriot XI Militaire.



This was an advancement of the plane Louis Bleriot flew across the Channel in 1909, updated with two seats for wartime spotting missions. It was quickly outclassed, being slow, unmaneuverable and unable to carry a machine gun, but it remained in service into 1916. It's pretty much useless in the game, and there are better planes available on the same die roll, but it just tickles me enough to make me want to do it.
