Bleriot XI - assembled and eventually crash landed (1/72)

This was a very innovative and nicely done presentation of an historic aircraft. The modeler did a fine job in depicting Bleriot's "crash" . Using a page of the book as a backdrop for his diorama was ingenious. Very well done and many kudos to Tom. Looking for more of his artistry.
