And we're done!:

 

 

Fitted out with a Lewis gun on the starboard side firing through the propeller:

 

 

To protect the propeller, it was fitted with Morane Saulnier wedges:

 

 

I have made some assumptions in this build, should you happen to find out exactly what the instrument panel looked like - I don't want to know!

 

 

And - I've finished a Group Build!

Now this is an awesome build. I especially love the closing shot. I’m still looking for the phonograph in the background somewhere...where’s Waldo lol

That shot was a bit of fun really. I'm holding the 'plane by the wingtip in my left hand, camera in my right trying to get far enough away for it to autofocus while looking out the bedroom window. It just happened to work!

 

The bit of fun in these pictures is the paper, cardboard and microstrip Bessonneau hangar
