I kinda doubt if that will happen but it sure would be cool :) I will ask Steve! I know the guy he did his designing with is out of the hobby now..... :(

After much research it has been determined that the g-3's were not individually marked for squadrons or personelle (at least not in esc 11)
Instead I have found out that his plane of choice was the Nieuport 11! Roman made a repaint for me of the 11 (it wasnt tough since he just did a bunch of them) :)
Look for the model in the shop soon!
Thanks

Quick note for the g4...
Steve notes that some scratch building experience will be helpful with this one. I assume for the same reasons as the g3 it has TONS of rigging and the tail is not part of the fuselage ;)

(Ahem)...some.
Will be worth it though. The G.3 and G.4 are so unique.
Got my G.3 yesterday and am planning modifications and details. There does not seem to be a lot of cockpit reference pics around.
The rear framework is very delicate but I know this can be strengthened by using fine wire in the laminating process.

If you make something usable to add onto the kit, I will make it worth your while :)
Thanks!

There is a Caudron G-4 at the Smithsonian Udvar-Hazy Museum.

Another reason to attend the International Paper Modelers' Convention this fall!
