Going to throw this one into the mix as well as the Curtiss Hawk II that's also under construction. Not a bad kit with 3 decal options, 2 from the1914 Schneider Trophy Race that was held in Monaco and one from the Swedish Airforce 1915. As I have a few Schneider Trophy aircraft in the stash this will be one of those that participated in the race. The options are .1 from Roland Garros and the second from Lord John Carberry, don't know which one yet.
