The French
Voisin 10 was an improved variant of the
Voisin 8 two-seat pusher. The predecessor's Peugeot engine was found to be unreliable, but an excellent replacement was found in the 280hp Renault 12Fe used in the Voisin 10. The improved output allowed a larger fuselage and and a larger rudder. Roughly 900 Voisin 10's were built during the war, and they were very active in 1918 with several units. Like many Voisin aircraft, a cannon-armed variant existed, and this model reflects the Voisin 10 Ca2 with a 37-mm cannon and the pilot and observer positions reversed. The factory designation of the cannon-armed version was the Voisin LBR. The cannon-armed variant was used mainly for ground-attack and escort duties.
The Voisin 10Ca comes in 1:144 and 1:285/6mm/1:288 scales. The 1:285 product uses a propeller disk rather than blades, since blades are difficult to print at this scale. If you prefer, you can snap it off.
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.
