Bernard 191 Grand Raid, Alexandre Bigey, 1/72 Resin Kit

The Bernard 191GR known as the "Oiseau Canari" is the first french aircraft to succeed an Atlantic crossing on June 23,1929 (80 years ago!). Model built using the VAMI resin kit from Belgium, with such scratchbuilt items as full interior, side windows, canopy, radiator, and minor detail. Decals from various origins including home made and some from my WoPer friend Shinichi Miwa. - Wings of Peace 2009 Record Breakers and Explorers themed contest winner!
