1/48 Westland Wapiti Biplane

After 6 years from the start of the project, it was successfully completed. At the beginning, the model was designed by hand, but finally it was designed in 3D technology. We present to modelers our largest, most time-consuming project in two scales: 32 and 48.
Model dimensions:
Wingspan: 440 mm for 32 scale and 294 mm for 48 scale
Length: 302 mm for 32 scale and 200 mm for 48 scale

The 1:48 scale model has exactly the same details as the larger 1:32 scale model. It looks great - the small 3D parts make an amazing impression.
