1:32nd scale Salmson 2-A2

[Mike Norris]

Hi all,
The next build will hopefully be a French Salmson 2-A2, Serial number 381, of Escadrille SAL 28.
No reason other than I like the unit's elephant marking,

I am really looking forward to this build. The Salmson was one my favorite WNW builds. It's a great kit.

Mike, this is (once again) something to look forward to! I really like the Salmson.

Hi all,
Thanks.
As you can see in the photograph, this aircraft had front and rear twin flying and landing wires between each wing bay.
These were held together by wood strip inserts between each pair of wires and wrapped to secure them in place.
Representing those wires will be an interesting exercise,

Just finished this bird a few months ago! Absolutely loved the build, and the schemes make for some colorful, sharp looking aircraft!

Hi all,
The basic engine is complete.
I've added the ignition harnesses to the two rear mounted magnetos.
Also the twin ignition leads from the circular support tube to the twin sparks plugs on each of the nine cylinders.
The radiator shutters are being modeled as open,
