That's cool stuff indeed. Do you know if the rotary engine is an original or new build?

That's one Aurora kit I would liked to have had. Never found one, though. And to my knowledge SMER has not reissued it. I think I only had the Nieuport 11 and the Breguet.

I had the Aurora Ne11 and Breguet, and the Hawk Nieuport 17C, SPAD 13, and Albatros V. I got a SMER Nieuport 11, DR1, and DH-2.

I'd have loved to have built a Albatross C-3 or Halberstadt CL-2. Never saw any in the stores that I can recall. Aurora's WWII airplanes were so crude but their WWI kits sure looked right.

We talking about a Jaguar the car, the cat or the jet?

It's odd to think that this death trap was once the X-Wing of its day. The F-22 of 1916.

Love the design. Has an elegance.
