Product Description
This is a 1/144 Vickers F.B.5 "Gunbus" aircraft. The F.B.5 was the world's first purpose-built fighter aircraft, serving from February 1915. At first they were parceled out sparingly to protect reconnaissance machines, but as of July 1915 they started equipping full squadrons, with six squadrons of the RFC and No.1 Squadron, RNAS. They served through mid-1916.

DESIGNER NOTE:  Models at scales smaller than 1:144 may no longer be available.  Shapeways discontinued the material for which they were designed, and the newer materials require that each and every model be adjusted to thicken surfaces like wings.  If you are interested in a particular model in a small scale, please let me know and I will prioritize it higher in the queue.

This plane comes in 1:144 and 1:285/6mm/1:288 scales.  The 1:285 product contains two aeroplanes, each with a propeller disk instead of blades.  They are joined by disposable links to keep the price down, since single-part models are more affordable.  You can break the links with nail clippers, wire cutters, or similar.
