In May 1918 Lt. E.G.Forder of 28th Sqn RAF, was forced down by his rival Austrian Oberleutnant Frank Linke-Crawford to land on Flik 60/J’s Feltre airport in northern Italy. And then the picture was taken, which is so popular as well as on web as in many publications available.
I have taken Eduard kit 8057 & PE no. FE432 to build this replica and thanks to Taurusmodels Vectors rotary Clarget engine was taken as the frosting on the cake:)
I tried as much as I could to cover the Vectors engine with Eduards cowling but it was little larger than expected and had to leave the cowling on the ground:(

Hi Krzysztof
Very nice indeed! Even if it's not what you originally intended, having the engine fully exposed really shows off its detail.
All the best
