Next up: The Sikorsky S.XVI. Igor Sikorsky was famous in WW1 for his 'Ilya Mourometz', the first large multi-engine strategic bomber, and he would be legendary for his later work with helicopters. He designed this two seat scout plane, which saw more use as a single-seat fighter. It was the first Russian fighter as well as the first Allied plane with a synchronizer for the gun. Unfortunately it was almost 20 mph slower than the Fokker E.III.


The kit is from Eastern Express, out of Russia.
