The beautiful Fisher kit of a beautiful aircraft : the Ryan ST-M.
The fuselage was foiled, and this was an interesting experience.
I stll want to add two pilots, to update the vignette and reinforce the scale impression of the bird.

An old vacform kit of the Nieuport Sesquiplan, that was the firts aircarft to fly above 200 mph, piloted by French pilot Sadi Lecointe.
The kit was from Air Craft Models, a British cottage industry vacform. Being of the "female" molds type (i.e. the parts are sucked into receeses in the molds, it was a great kit, precise, and easy to deal with, unlike most vacs.
Sadi Lecointe was one of the most well-known aviators of his time and considered a true hero in France.
Hence the title of the small vignette "The hero and his steed".
