The Gordon Bennett Air Race 1911 Part 2: Bleriot XXIII

Thank you gentlemen for your very kind comments. This pair has certainly tested my patience but I think that I have made two models as close to representative as possible, which was my aim.

The change of the skids have improved the look greatly! love your dedication to research and scratchbuild obscure subjects.

Very interesting planes and excellent research to make these great replicas.

Two very nice models.  Your research shows the value of photos of crashed planes.  They provide details that are not otherwise seen.  Excellent work.

Thanks Flamingo, Nigel and Dennis for your kind comments. Researching these two types (indeed all of the Gordon Bennett racers) has been a challenge, but I think that I have enough information to be able to make passable replicas of them all now.
