Thank you!

Some pictures showing the airplane Voisin Ca2 before restoration ( Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace / Memorial Flight).

The aircraft had been modified to fly without the pilot.

Avant!

this is a great example of taking a substandard kit and making a masterpiece from it. louis is the man to do it. i have seen and respected his models for many years.

Thank you very much!!!!


Well...

The windshield is not beautiful, it is full of bubbles and not transparent at all. Its central part is too short and I think I'll have to cut it to enlarge a little.
In addition I split ... misery.



In front of the windscreen there are two components that can (for real) open and which are partly transparent. So I just removed to replace with a piece of transparent plastic. It's a little too flat now ... I'll stick can be above the two components to put a little thick.



I made a fire extinguisher to put next to the cannon (shot plastic).



The engine does not please me. It's a shame it's all there but everything is crooked.



I bought a machine gun Hotchkiss M 1914 models directly from GasPatch, delivered in 4 days. I let you judge the pictures the quality of their work:

Nice to see more progress on this kit but it is a real disappointment to run into so many issues with the kit, the engine looks as though it will need an enormous amount of work or a complete rebuild. I will be following along to see how you overcome these problems. On a brighter note, the machine gun looks brilliant as does the fire extinguisher.

The cockpit tub and added details are looking fantastic! Too bad about the engine! I am sure you will sort things out!

nice progress louis, i didnt realize they used the heavy hotchkiss on the voisin aircraft. i wondered which ones use this gun, i mostly used to see the 1909 on french fighter planes. voisin has a big wingspan.

as far as the engine maybe you have to make a cylinder like you did for the freidrichshafen ff33e by techmod.
