Caudron G.3 MC - Bydgoszcz Pilot School 1926 (CSM, 1/32)
« on: August 03, 2023, 06:36:07 AM »
Let me present my vision of one of many G.3s serving in Bydgoszcz Pilot School in the years 1921-1927. The example 15-18 was photographed around 1926.
The lovely CSM model had to be modified to the Polish post-war version which most striking difference was in the aileron lateral control replacing the original wing warping - I have done it basing on a couple of blurred photos and unconfirmed scale drawings from several sources, let me call it an educated guess.
The decals with numerals and masks for Polish national markings were provided by Mr. Decal.
All in all a very pleasing project ended in a result, which I deem differs substantially from many other great builds of this great CSM kit. I hope you will enjoy these couple of photos.

Wonderful Caudron G. III. Again, a very clean and precise build, like it is your trademark.

First class in every way. As others have written the finish and detail are just stunning. The ailerons look just right and who is to know if they are a mm or two inaccurate?
