I'm still disappointed Wingnut Wings didn't bring the Vickers Vimy...

It would have been a very appropriate way to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of British aviators John Alcock and Arthur Brown's

first non-stop transatlantic flight in June of 1919. Well... four months are still left of 2019, who knows, right?

 

Two more right? B.e.2c + Friedrichshafen FF 49

 

I guess the most likely will be the B.e.2 family as they are part of the Vintage Aviator collection

There was another famous flight in 1919 involving a Vimy:

The air race had other types such as a Blackburn Kangaroo, which might also make a nice kit:

But 2 Handley Pages!..those folding wings solve part of the problem of how to store or display the beast...and adds interest to a boxy looking rear end :goodjob:

Both this and Be2 were widely used in WW1 and you’d have to say they will come out...

If we’re talking Italian bombers, I’d be in if it started with a “Cap” and ended with a “roni”.

Yes another historically important type widely used. The Ca4 had a wingspan slightly bigger than the Felixstowe!640px-Caproni_Ca36_050309-F-1234P-003.jp Ca3 (above) and 5 about 75cm Wingspan
