Macchi M.5 "Flying Dragon" 1918

Hello PM's,
I'd like to show my latest model.
It's a Italian single-seat fighter flying boat Macchi M.5 "Flying Dragon" from the period of WW I.
Macchi M.5 was operated by five Italian maritime patrol squadrons as a fighters and convoy escort. By the end of WW I these plains were flown by USNavy and USMarine Corps.
"Flying Dragon" was flown by the leader of 261.Esc. (Sqd.) of the Regia Marina - Sottotenente di Vacello (Sub-Lt.) Domenico "Pepuzzo" Arcidiacono.
The last photos show opponents over Adriatic - "Flying Dragon" and the Austro-Hungarian reconnaissance-bomber flying boat Lohner T1 "L127".
SWcratch model in 1 : 33 scale.
Project based on Answer kit, Windsock Datafile 86, archival photos etc.
Material: carboard, paper, bamboo sticks, natural silk and painted by acrylic paints.
Regards,
Dick

Hi Dick.

Excellent work!
On both planes!

It is sad, that there is no kit in 1:33 scale to buy from the Lohner plane.
I am hoping since years for.

Greetings from Austria,

Wiwo
