Now I may have some chauvanistic biases but it is good. Interesting how much of what the "British" did was actually accomplished by those inferior colonials!! I found the book quite objective too - ie. even though it's written by a Canadian about Canadian flyers, the author makes no bones about the FACT that MVR was done in by Aussies - more of those inferior colonials.

The leading edges of top and bottom are straight and parallel as can be had, except for the tip curvature, and there they appear to be a similar radius. Lower wing was close to 1/3rd less chord then the upper wing but that should not give any "optical" appearance of sagging. Lee M.

I'll admit to a personal interest - this was my grandfather's regiment, and I made a 54mm model of him in this uniform for my grandmother some 30 years ago. This was converted from a Rose Miniatures late 19c British Hussar figure. I might see how it photographs - it's in a case and the standard isn't that high (I was young) but it might make a nice addition to the site. And Eric, if you like all those uniforms, model the Napoleonic period! (I suspect you might anyway) After all, that's when Napoleon's Polish Light Horse first got the lance.....

In a word they droop, sag, look funny and it is mostly because the assembler didn't care enough to correct the errors. At least that is how it looks in the photos. It is a view from the left rear side and it includes rudder, elevator, fuselage and both lower and upper wings.. Angle to the fuselage, from the camera, is about 30 degrees. Upper wing is nice and flat. No dihedral/anhedral. Cabane struts appear to fit well. Lee M.
