A biplane from the dawn of aviation, built in one evening.
Two stacked wings, a propeller, a radial engine and spoked landing gear: this wooden biplane captures the silhouette of the very first airplanes. 105 pieces, one to one and a half hours to build, and it takes flight on its tilted stand.
A wooden model airplane kit for a first build
It's one of the quickest kits among our wooden models: 105 pre-cut pieces, illustrated instructions, and an airplane finished in an hour and a half at most. The wings, the struts and the propeller pop out of the sheets and slot together; the tilted stand gives the plane its in-flight look.
Who's it for? A first model, a moment to share, or a gift you can build the same evening. An aviation fan who wants a light piece on their desk.
Assembled dimensions: 18.5 cm wingspan, 12.6 cm long, 17.8 cm tall.

très beau kit, je recommande vivement cet article
assez simple à monter. prévoir quelques points de colle. l'ensemble est superbe
les instructions de ce modèle ne sont pas très bonnes. j'ai eu besoin d'agrandir les instructions pour voir ce qui était quoi.
Je ne l'ai pas encore assemblé, mais pour le prix, il est très bien emballé dans une boîte avec une excellente présentation.
