Wibault-Penhoët Trimotor by Ingenia

Here is an old gem - a pre-war French model of the French equivalent of the Tin Goose. I was able to get it on eBay, now long out of print, and try building it. The old Ingenias are large scale, printed in large format and colorful booklets. They were of a variety of subjects - architectural, aviation, ships and others. The instructions and designs are simple, often crude - made for children. Yet they are appealing, and are of subjects I have never seen otherwise.

Here is the instruction sheet, and the start on the fuselage. While there are no formers, there is an inner box that gives the fuselage structure and rigidity. Fit is reasonable, but takes a little massaging.Attachment 316887
