This magnificent model inspired WNW designers and toolmakes when developing their first kits and is a remarkable tribute to a master modeller.This issue's plans feature concerns the little-known French Wibault Wib.1 C.1 Flandre biplane,described by J M Bruce with 1:48 and 1:72 scale plans from Colin Owers-an ideal subject for scratchbuilders and flying scale modellers so here's all the documentation they'll ever  need.
