NC2 Aquilon and other models from Criquet, 1/72

[Jan Kytop]

Here is the Bodiansky 20, a French light aircraft of 100 hp and four seats which was to participate in the competition for the french tourism planes in 1931.
This is a model from "Criquet".
The model to download, its history and period documents can be found here:
BODIANSKY 20 - NOS BELLES "PLUMES" DU TEMPS PASSE.
Once again, let us salute the designer who not only offers us new models of high quality but also all the documentation that goes with it, and this for free.

Interesting exhaust routing. I'm surprised that the heat from the muffler would not damage the canopy.

Strange looking bird! As usual, impeccably built.

Wow, magic. Stunning airframe.

The difficulty will be to make transparent windows.
For the roof window, I install under the transparent part a blind which will protect the pilot from the Saharan sun and will avoid me to detail this part!
For the cabin, I realized a minimum interior (seats, rudder, joystick, instruments and in the luggage compartment, an additional tank).

Nice to see you back into planes!

The glass part is cut out of clear plastic using a fuselage cutout as a template.


Then glue the windows to the fuselage.


Then glue the coloured skin on top. It's printed on self-adhesive paper.
