Regarded as one of the great fighter aircraft of WW1, the SE5a had a reputation for strength and as a stable gun platform. Originally powered by a Hispano Suiza 200 hp 8 cylinder engine, production and quality control issues with this power plant forced a later change to Wolsey Viper engines.
SE5a B189 No. 40 Squadron Spring 1918
The model depicted here is a Hispano Suiza powered one. From the factory the
SE5a came with a headrest for the pilot but these were often removed, as in
this model, to give better visibility.
Model is multires and includes usual moving parts and animations
