Maurice Farman M.F. 11, Scratch-Build In 1/72, In Progress
I have been working on this since late April, but have only now had a chance to take pictures. I want to thank Mr. Gilles of this forum for his help with plans and colors, and credit the splendid research of Mr. Denis Albin into French escadrille histories. This will be finished as a machine of Escadrille MF 62, circa September, 1915. Materials from the WWI Aeroplanes Master Matetials archive have also been very helpful, particularly with the motor (they have a manual for the 80hp Renault that powered this).

Wow! What a great little project.
Kudos for going down this path. I look forward to the conclusion (I bet you do too).

WWI Aero have been very helpful to me too.

Cheers,

Hugh

Great work, Old Man! Your submission of photos on you scratch build has motivated me to press on with fervor on my current build of the AIRFRAMES 1/72 scale vacuform kit of the SHORT 184. Which by the way is "all but" scratch built.

Thank you, Sir!

It is for a group build that end on August 1, so I am definitely hoping to see it finished soon.

Thank you, Sir!

A vacuformed 184 sounds like one Hell of a project. Best wishes for a favorable out-come. The Short, particularly the land-plane 'Bomber' version, is an old favorite of mine as well.
