Default RE: Proctor Enterprise kits

ORIGINAL: 2 Piece

The VK line is not near as scale as the Proctor line up. Yes Proctor does kit the VK line, but I like to think of the VK line up as Proctor's entry level.

Thanks for the replies. The specs I found on the Strutter make the Proctor kit 1/6 scale (1:5.99) and the only limitation to detail is what the builder decides to leave off or add. No matter what the kit, I always consider them only a starting point. From what I've heard from a couple of noted local WWI builders, the Proctor kits, even the VK's, are way ahead of most in terms of scale accuracy. I had considered one of the Museum kits, but I like Sopwith planes, and you don't see as many Strutters at fly-ins as you do Pups and Camels. I am considering finishing mine as Raymond Collishaw's, who was the top Canadian ace of WWI
