Scratch Built 1/32 scale Caudron G3

By Des Delatorre

I have just recently completed my latest scratch build, this time it is a Caudron G3. It was quite an enjoyable build taking about three months to complete. I used spoked wheels from Steven Robson and a hand made laminated wood propeller from Doug Craner, both products are superb. The struts for this model needed to be quite strong so I used bamboo tooth picks sanded to shape, the tail booms are made from 1.6mm solid square brass, all the rigging is 0.12mm monofilament.
