  Sweden National Day 2005 

 

A Swedish Airplane from 1913 built by Lars Fjällbäck. It was used by the Swedish Army and the model is painted in the 1914 livery. The plane was built in Stockholm and had a 50hp Gnome engine. My model is completely scratch built except for the wheels that came from a plastic kit. I built it before I started shopping from abroad so I had to build the engine using some small screws for the cylinders. The whole model is built of paper, wood and metal.
