Description
This is a paintable 1:144 scale model of a Maurice Farman M.F.11 “Shorthorn“. Since many painters choose their own mounting system, no peg is included on the plane. Pegs can be purchased separately in the Accessories section of this catalog.
When the Farman M.F.7 “Longhorn” was modernized in 1914, the resulting Farman M.F.11 “Shorthorn“, aka the “Type 1914“, was the perfect plane for 1914: easy to fly, reliable, and with great vision for both the pilot and the observer. They were used by almost every Entente combatant, and they were built in large numbers by both French factories and under license. They entered service with the French in early 1915, serving with at least 37 French escadrilles. Through 1917 they were incrementally replaced with more modern planes, with the last escadrille giving up their MF.11’s in January 1918.
An Italian-built variant of the M.F.11 is also available.
The model is offered in different materials. See the FAQ for a comparison of the different material choices. In the Shipping tab, please note the increased shipping costs for an order with mixed materials.
