To Dennis, Paul, Eric, Warren Buz and Scott- Thank-you for the encouragement!
A number of you on this list have actually contributed parts, information and decals to make completing some of these models possible, so thanks to all of you as well.
Yes, Diego there is a hook holding down the front end of the Voisin because I like the look of it on the wheels. I have seen a couple of photos of Voisins sitting on their tail skids, but that is not as interesting.
Someone suggested making the cockpit floor out of lead, but the weight on the wheels would make me worry about the long term effect on the struts. The tail booms are brass PE and pretty heavy and it would take a bit of weight to counter that. So I cheated...

Excellent models, all of them! The Hanriot is one of my favourites, and
building the Voisin needs a steady hand! Yes, I saw the hook on the
undercarriage to avoid it tipping over....
