Many thanks to Phillipe and Alain. My questions as to the colors and markings of the aircraft are answered as best as they will probably ever be. Being so successful this far, can I press my luck and your patience and ask for any information about the bomb carrying capability of the Voisin X and its bomb carriage design?
Again referring to the FMP book,
French Aircraft of the First World War, I quote that among the listed differences between the Voisin 8 and the 10 bomber versions, “The fuselage was enlarged so it could carry more fuel and a heavier bomb load – 120 kg more than the Voisin 8. I have drawings of the Voisin 8 made by Paul R. Matt in 1964 from the National Air Museum, Smithsonian Institution, showing a five bay bomb compartment which consumes considerable space in the fuselage. The box art for the Hi-Tech kit shows a crew of two. I’m looking for information that will show the bomb bay installation with the accommodation for the gunner, if any for the Voisin X. It seems he sat on top the bomb bay or stood in a very small space in around it (?)
Thanks much,
Mike
