Nice little model by Eric Johnson. Detailed engine and cockpit!

At 1/72 that's going to be a challenging model to make !! Looks really neat tho

With only four thick wing spars and the bottom two wings attached directly to the fuselage, this model should be far easier to build in 1:72 scale than most other WWI biplanes with multiple spars. Wing alignment should be relatively simple.

A very elegant model of a noteworthy aircraft -- kudos to designer Eric Johnson!

Three wings? It's gonna be challenging.
