Description

This is a paintable 1:144 scale model of a Voisin 3. 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.

The Voisin 1 and 2 were clearly underpowered, but an experiment mounting the 120hp Salmson radial engine proved to be a great boon. The nacelle was strengthened to support the larger engine and changed to all-metal and the undercarriage was strengthened to handle the load while landing. The gunner worked from the rear seat using machine gun mounts over the pilot’s head and at the leading edge of the upper wing. It was also known as the Voisin LA. The Voisin 3 found its niche as a bomber, and through 1915 Voisin 3’s in army cooperation escadrilles were replaced with Farmans and Caudrons so that Voisins could be concentrated in bombing units. By early 1916 they were being replaced by the Voisin 5, a process that was complete by mid-spring.

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.

Shipping:  Shipping varies from about US$7 to US$15 per order, depending on the destination country.  See your cart for an exact number — the prices may vary with currency fluctuations.  Orders over US$300 may get free shipping (but see the note on mixed materials).

Mixed Materials:  Nylon prints are shipped from a different factory than resin prints, so if you place an order with a mix of Nylon and Resin, you will be charged shipping for each material, and each will arrive separately.

Taxes:  Sales tax — where applicable — will be added for U.S. shipments.  Value-added taxes (VAT) may (or may not) be collected by your postal carrier on receipt, which is known as “Delivery At Place”.  Unfortunately, since my printing and shipping partner has no way of marking shipments as VAT-paid, this website cannot collect VAT on your behalf.

Customs:  Most orders should be small enough to avoid customs duties, but you may want to check your local regulations.  If duties are due, they may be collected by your postal carrier.  E.U. customers may be able to avoid duties by keeping their order under €150.
