Hi guys,
While neither an airliner or indeed a civil aircraft, I was wondering if I could perhaps call upon the collective brilliance and knowledge of the A/CAM community to help me identify this aircraft....she is obviously WW1 era and I would like to try a refurb on her to practice my rigging skills :









Any other pertinent info or details would also be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Looks like an Airco DH-2 with the 100HP Gnome Monosoupape engine. (the photo on the page shows it with the rotary..)

I think it maybe a Royal Aircraft Factory FE2b.

You're right. The two aircraft look fairly similar..

And here is the next ID challenge.....This is a nice little model, but I have NFI what it is

That one's a Hannover CL III A (it says so on the side of the fuselage.. Han CLIIIA, LH side near the tail.)

Indeed it is. Good pick up young Damo. I have just been doing some research....seems some parts are missing off the model .
She appears to be a 1st generation multi-role Fighter-Bomber.

The FE look like it was a vacform, the fuselage on that FE2b is very well done i'm thinking it was a Formaplane kit, would have been a lovely model in it's day, maybe do it as a crash diorama.
The Hannover is missing the upper tailplane, as they had biplane tailplanes, that could well be the old Airfix kit

In fact looking at Scalemates , that is the exact serial number of the Airfix one

I expect to see full rigging on these refurbs old boy
