John Masters Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Without seeing the tailplanes clearly, I would have to say it is some kind of Lohner. The tailplane looks too pointy to be a Curtiss and the nose is too pointy to be Grigorovich M-5. It has an Austro-Hungarian vibe about it... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Masters Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Thanks @Jonners The nose, from the angle of the photo, doesn't look like the Russian aircraft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, John - it is more pointed than it appears in most other images. I suppose that there must have been a degree of bespoke variation at the time.

Ed Russell Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Interestingly, the Omega kit has a blunt nose https://www.scalemates.com/kits/omega-models-72067-m-5--264833 but this VES kit appears to have the sharp nose of the museum exhibit. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/ves-grigorowitsch-m-5--164357 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
