Farman 170 Prototype

Well the prototype is largely finished here. The sesqui 'wing' and the struts are in place and Rosie has had another go at constructing the nose which is now very close to the actual profile. While laborious, trial fitting offers the best way of addressing the compound curves. Excellent progress on this aircraft which does not exist in kit form in any media with the drawings being prepared from photographs. This will be another paper 'first'.

This is a far more stylish and racy Jabiru than the larger four-engined version.
