Many thanks, Filip. I'm hoping to get my Caudron at Telford and I'll find your build really helpful.

Best wishes

This is going to be interesting to follow and compare with my scratch-build and I think that I already know which one is going to be the best!!

The only part that may require some work is the upper wing, which is made of 3 parts due to technological reasons.


The upper wing of the G.4 was divided in three parts and featured foldable wingtips, so there is no need to fill the gaps. See here:



And you will find a lot of detailed pictures here:

Hope it helps. You lucky man!

Many thanks for the references!
I finally have something to show you. I started with the Le Rhohes, apart from slightly thick fins of the cylinders they are very good.
I especially like the sparkplugs. I`ve added the pushrods and the wiring. The pictures don`t show the way I weathered them, it was hard for me to take a good picture showing the weathering using the artificial lighting.

Here are the engines after the first coat of primer:

They look pretty great to me!  I'm really looking forward to following the rest of your build and I'm terminally jealous.

Thanks!! The engine is pretty good.

Do you have any idea what kind of seatbelts were used on Caudrons?
