Beechcraft Model 17 Staggerwing

29th October 2019 Gaëtan MarieBeechcraft Model 17 Staggerwing

The work on the Bristol Brigand is on halt for the time being, and I’ve moved on to another project: the classic and elegant Beechcraft Model 17 Staggerwing. Although profile views do not pay proper tribute to this superb aircraft, it was still a very interesting project to work on ! The Staggerwing made its…Continue reading Beechcraft Model 17 Staggerwing

The life and colours of the Gee Bee QED

5th September 2019 Gaëtan MarieBetween the wars

I recently had the privilege and pleasure to work on the various decorations sported by the Gee Bee QED (or R-6H) during the course of its largely unsuccessful racing career. Here is a timeline of these decorations, showing their evolution :

UK, DH.88 Comet G-ACSS, Grosvenor House, Charles Scott & Tom Campbell Black, Race 34, 1934 MacRobertson race

The de Havilland DH.88 Comet

31st July 2018 Gaëtan MarieBetween the wars

One of the most elegant aircraft ever built, the DH.88 Comet is notably famous for winning the 1934 McRobertson air race from London to Melbourne. Three Comets entered the race, which was won by Charles Scott and Tom Campbell Black in G-ACSS, painted red and nicknamed “Grosvenor House”. Jim Mollison and his wife Amy (born…Continue reading The de Havilland DH.88 Comet

More de Havilland D.H. 82 Tiger Moths

7th May 2018 Gaëtan MarieBetween the wars

I thought I’d add a bit of colour to the site this week with a few Tiger Moths! K2579 was one of the first Tiger Moth to serve with the RAF, and did not have the horizontal stabilizer extensions or “strakes” found on later models. The Royal Dutch Navy was one of many operators of…Continue reading More de Havilland D.H. 82 Tiger Moths

Focke-Wulf Fw 44 Stieglitz D-EMNN

19th March 2018 Gaëtan MarieBetween the wars

I had started to work on the Fw 44 Stiegtlitz template last summer, and never showed the final result. D-EMNN is now based in the UK, and is a superbly restored aircraft.

Work in progress: Focke-Wulf Fw 44 Stieglitz

4th July 2017 Gaëtan MarieBetween the wars

I’m currently working on the Focke-Wulf Fw 44 Stieglitz for a custom order. It’s a complicated aircraft to represent: not only is it a biplane with the usual set of masts and cables, it also has a visible radial engine… Once the side view template is finished, I’ll start working on the top view and…Continue reading Work in progress: Focke-Wulf Fw 44 Stieglitz

Beech Model 18 / C-45 Expeditor

8th October 20118th June 2016 Gaëtan MarieBeechraft Model 18

Despite being something of a disappointment early in its career, some 9,000 Model 18 were built from 1937 to 1969. It has now become a classic aircraft, although some are still flying commercially. 1. Bearing the colours of the USAAC early in the war, this Beech D18S is flown by the Arizona Wing of the…Continue reading Beech Model 18 / C-45 Expeditor

Piper Cub

20th December 20098th June 2016 Gaëtan MarieBetween the wars

The Piper Cub is the aircraft that made flying accessible to most and is often called the “Ford Model T” of aviation. With over 19,000 Cubs produced until 1946, it is still a very popular aircraft and copies are still being produced today, more than 70 years after its first flight.   1. This Cub,…Continue reading Piper Cub

de Havilland D.H.82 Tiger Moth

26th October 20098th June 2016 Gaëtan MarieBetween the wars

The Tiger Moth is a true aviation legend. Having entered service in the early 1930s, this well-loved biplane remained the RAF’s primary trainer until 1952. Many aircraft have been preserved and still fly today. 1. This D.H.82A(T-8209) is preserved at the Polish Aviation Museum at Cracow, Poland. It carries its wartime colours of No 25…Continue reading de Havilland D.H.82 Tiger Moth

Stampe & Vertongen SV.4

23rd November 20078th June 2016 Gaëtan MarieBetween the wars

1. The SV.4C was a postwar license-built version manufactured in France by the SNCAN and powered with a Renault engine. F-BCXD was a SV.4C built in Sartrouville in december 1946 and modified to SV.4A standard in 1956. Thanks to Pierre vdB, owner of this good-looking aircraft. 2. Another SV.4A, restored to its original condition and…Continue reading Stampe & Vertongen SV.4
