Perhaps the chief criticism of the fine
Salmson 2 was the wide separation of the pilot and observer. The
Salmson 7 sought to rectify that by placing them back-to-back in a shared cockpit. The wings were somewhat larger and were slightly swept. Like its predecessor, it retained the single-piece horizontal and vertical tail surfaces.
Had the war continued, thousands of Salmson 7's would have been built, enough to equip seventy-four squadrons. But by the Armistice only twenty had been delivered to front line units, and outstanding orders were cancelled. Like the Salmson 2, the Salmson 7 would have probably been a fast, robust machine, well-suited to its mission.
This product comes in both 1:144 and 1:285/6mm/1:288 scales. The 1:285 product comes with two aeroplanes joined by disposable links, which you can remove with nail clippers or wire cutters. At that scale it is impossible to print propeller blades, so detachable propeller disks are provided instead.
DESIGNER NOTE:
Models at scales smaller than 1:144 may no longer be available. Shapeways discontinued the material for which they were designed, and the newer materials require that each and every model be adjusted to thicken surfaces like wings. If you are interested in a particular model in a small scale, please let me know and I will prioritize it higher in the queue.
