| Meccano Dragon Rapide.
Shown here on display at Baxterley airstrip is my 11 foot span Meccano Dragon Rapide model,she has full interior detail including seats,control column,instruments,wheel pants,two electric motors and rigging wires,the Rapide is one of my all time favourite aircraft and I wanted something sturdy to display the elegant lines of this classic machine,she took two years of work to complete and gave me lots of problems to solve on how best to get the shapes required,do you think she gave me a lot of pleasure to build her.
