The plane:
French extravagance and flair is not just limited to
fashion, as this Alérion Peyret of 1922 demonstrates. Of tandem-wing
configuration and with a fuselage in need of a corset, it nevertheless won the
soaring competition –at the hands of Maneyrol- at Itford, England,
in 1922 setting an endurance record of 3 hours 22 minutes. Some time later
Maneyrol pushed the record beyond the 8 hours mark with the same plane.
The model:
At 6.6 meters of span it is small in 1/72 scale. Images will
walk you through the building process.
A succinct interior was provided. Struts were from Contrail
and Strutz! But you have to eat Liverwurst as you use the latter, which
guaranties success.
Thanks Rich for the info on this one!
“…There is no better model than the one you are going to
build next”
