Just a month ago Philippe Rennesson added another superb 1:33 free download model, this time of the Fauvel AV36 flying wing glider, at the French site
"Maquette en cartons - Card models" (with English translations). Read more about the model, and download it,
from this page.
Philippe Rennesson has two earlier absolutely excellent models to his credit, the
Pou du Ciel HM14 - Flying Flea, and the
Dalotel D165.
The Fauvel comes with two pages of 3-view drawings, two pages of b&w parts for laminating, and three pages of coloured parts. In addition you can download instructions, and a parts list. Both of the latter are in French only. The model is marked "for experienced builders".
Philippe has kindly saved the models in a PDF format which allows you to open and edit them in a vector programme. This is a most commendable practice, since it means you can modify and recolour the model into any version you'd like without losing quality.
On the download page, there is a link to
a page full of construction photos. Philippe has also given an internet reference, which is highly readable in itself, for all the Fauvel aircraft, and
the AV36 in particular.
Incidentally, if you pursue the original of that page, you will find a most excellent source page for ALL tailless aircraft & gliders, including the Hortens; see the
Nurflügel page (in English, except for the Fauvel sub-page).
I attach four of Philippe's own photos of the build.
