Farman F.231 Marcel Lalouette - Scratchbuild 1/72nd

 

 

One of the three scratchbuilt Farman F.231, perhaps the most zappy one, belonging to Marcel Lalouette* (also written Lallouette) in 1931. Only two partial photos were found, and the second shows it at a long distance. Still, ex ungue leonem, here it is for your amusement and visual pleasure. As you may assume, a most interesting time was having masking this model. My thanks to Arctic Decals for the smaller images they produced to complete this model.

The scratchbuilding of the three models, as well as some contemporary publications, can be visited here:

*Interesting surname, as L'alouette is literally "The lark"
