RE: 1/3 Vickers F.B.19 MKII
I made the mistake of trusting the Arizona Aircrafter drawings available online. Their kit instructions, with parts, is on their site and I used those parts as a basis. I have stuff from Harry Woodman's book on WWI aircraft weapons as well as some original Austrian drawings and some Russian drawings. Unfortunately, there were several versions of the Schwarzlose and even more sub-contractors. None of the drawings has cross-sections and that has presented some challenges. I've discovered some more photos since I started and am making changes.
As I write the above, I have to laugh at myself - this was to be a straight forward stand-off scale model in the Balsa USA tradition. The problem is that at this scale, you have to put in quite a bit of detail or things look bare. And that can suck a lot of time - enjoyable for sure, but time none the less. I'd had hopes of Toledo but not likely at this point >sigh<
