Hello gentlemen,
A very good choice for woman pilot, Xan (but, she's nearly 70 years old today...)  ;D ;D
A new historic build, I like it !!!

Wow, a frame model in 1/48 scale! I'll be watching this with great interest. Looking good so far!

ah! of course emmanuelle!
this has been the first big erotic movie in France in the 70ies. In the poster of the movie emanuelle was sitting in a big wicker seat and it became very famous and symbolic...

Hello My work stays in that:


I use those pieces again in a more clasical way:



however, David the grandson send me all the plan in PDF  at 1/5 scale, based on original plans, amazing!



I will have quite work for a while to convert those plan from pdf to Jpeg,  from 1/5 to 1/48at 1/48 ...

but the frame models still goes on, I don't think I will have so good documentation for a WWI aircraft until a while!

Hello friends!
the first plan, fuselage profil is ready at 1/48, with the good dimensions (in blue).
first observation, the fuselage is too short toward the tail, about 4,5mm.


 Docteur frankenstein is preparing the tools!

but right now I will restart the fuselage frame building , this time with the good dimensions...

see you soon!
