Here is my last one. A Caudron G 2 of the "escadrille C 11 in August 1914

From the begining ...













And 32 holes later...



Half plane is OK and me near the KO...



The other side...



Let's go !

I take my hat of to you guys who work in 1:72 scale and especially those who scratch build in this small scale. You have done an incredible job Alain, very well done.
