Scratch-built 1/72 Leigh/AVRO Baby-1920

Since we are discussing and posting multiplanes

(here:

...good is to know that the concept wasn't just a fad of early deranged minds, but was well alive in 1920!

 

This is a model from 11 years ago:

 

Suffice to say that Mr. Leigh converted an existent Baby airframe in something…quite different.
Being the original about 7.6 meters in span, at 1/72 it is a tiny model.
The Baby is a cute little bug that will stand out on your display and that you could take to the next club meeting in a matchbox.
 

Love is blind, and sometimes beauty is also a “blind”.

That's a stunning looking model and such a wild looking design. 

I look forward to whatever you have a mind to bring out next. 

This is a great series of posts.

Lovely, as long as they don't ask me to fly it!

You'd have thought that by the 20's they'd have understood aerodynamics enough to know that this was not feasible!

Super! Another one I had not heard of - but it looks a little easier to build than the Philips multiplane.

Until you arrive to the part where you have to replicate the sandwich the pilot carried! oh, those cucumber slices showing the seeds in 1/72! not for the faint of heart!

Almost choked on my croissant when I saw that one Mr Moa!! Brilliant! Looks like Mr Phillipps got his hands on a Fokker D7 and had fun in his workshops with leftover Multiplane bits.
