"It is to France that the world owes its wings" , first part, 1783!

[Jan Kytop]

Here is a small series of paper models at 1/200 using as a support an adapted reproduction of old posters a tad presumptuous:

"It is to France that the world owes its wings".


And to start, the first human flights in history in November 1783. The hot air balloon of Pilâtre de Rozier and the Marquis d'Arlandes and Charles and Robert's hydrogen charliere (the smallest, in the foreground).


Fiddlersgreen models.

Your small round models without flat spots are amazing.
(And Chip deserves a lot of credit for a simple design that looks great.)

Yes, Chip's balloons are amazing and very well designed and draw.
