Hellenic Naval Air Service c, 1919.
This is the Roden kit issued 20 years ago, purchased recently -fortunately still available. It is missing the photo etched parts and the transparent plastic of the original issue, but the mold is in great shape.
I used the fabulous eduard 3d printed clerget engine and seat. Some extra work was required to open the top wing "windows" and built the internal structure, same for the transparent pulley inspection panels. For the cockpit instruments some prepainted eduard photo etched parts were used, as well as the seat belts. Not much is visible after the model is finished anyway. Landing gear was modified a bit for better representation of the wheel axles. The a/c serial and arrows decals were custom printed by LM decals.
