Hello,
I want to make this Voisin since I saw the magnificent Voisin from "Cage à poules" here:

I searched a long time on the internet, but there is not a lot of information regarding the "Voisin X lar" 

So I decided to make a Voisin 10 Ca2 armed with a gun. Now I no longer need to look for photos, they are there:

Hi-Tech has had the good idea to provide "opening" of the cockpit for a version other than that of the box (the bottom part of the picture). Amounts are cut into sections "evergreen" 0.25 X 0.75

In front of the windscreen there are two components that can (for real) open and which are partly transparent. So I just removed to replace with a piece of transparent plastic.

I bought a machine gun Hotchkiss M 1914 models directly from GasPatch

I made it in two parts to be able to easily put the binding that connects the two parts.  The lengths are calculated from the plan with more or less accuracy ... Ditto for the general shape of the engine block.

I remade the cylinders entirely with evergreen plastic, I could not stick the small parts cleanly with superglue on the resin parts, and their foot was too short. It was long and infule ...

I wanted to make a scene with a lot of gas in front of the plane. Alas it is too long to manufacture and very very boring. The circular hollows on both sides of the can is made with an old steel rod and a hammer blow. The Benzo brand is made with two small plastic rods that serve as a buffer. The white line is a piece of decal.

The displays on the boxes are paper copies.
