Bleriot - Aeromodel of the Year winner 2007

This is a magnificent model which has been lovingly constructed by Les Le Prevost. It took Les some 10 months of hard work to complete and the level of details is quite incredible. Les has made items like the spoked wheels, the laminated wooden frameworks etc etc, all by hand; so an enormous amount of care has gone into the building of this model. Les has already begun thinking about his next project, but I think he will have to part with this beauty first as he needs the space before he can even think about the next aircraft.

I am proud to present, Les's Bleriot winner of our Aeromodel of the Year trophy for 2007.
