It's been a while since I've had a finished build to share, so I hoped to show you the latest one. This is my Nieuport-Macchi M.5 in the markings of Tenente di Vascello Alberto Bortolozzo from Squadriglia 260a, based at Saint Andrea Seaplane Station during 1918.

Terry that's fantastic. What a wonderful thing to have!

They have a much-modified fuselage to give them the narrow cross section. Plus the cowling and dorsal area was rebuilt and new windshield and slipper tanks were made. The un...

Classic. Even better that it is made of metal

I would be curious to know more about the build too. It’s absolutely beautiful.
