    I don't know much about this a/c type, byt I do like the looks of it. Expertly done, Peter!

    Awesome work, Peter! Great job on the washes, they really give it nice depth - I may have to do that to some of my similar Frenchies.

    OK, placing the shapeways order, I hope you're happy with yourself.

    Interesting plane developed by the French.

    Unofficial stats, Caudron G6 France 16 Q1- 18 Q3, movement deck Y, front/rear guns B/B (Swivels), hits 16, ceiling 11, climb rate 4

    It had a bad reputation for handling, especially on landing. In OTT I will make it roll for every landing as if FRTB. (Forcer Return to Base, from damage)

    Nice job, Peter, I expect the Eagles will look forward to it piling up on the runway if it eludes them !

    Nice looking pair of Caudrons! Maybe Rival Skies can make the spinning disks as well. They look great on your AC.

    Thanks guys.

    Craig, A friend of mine (Mike J. in Salisbury) has a laser cutter and hopes to be making spinning props this summer.
