The inspiration for designing this aircraft came from being introduced to Henri Farman's grandson through a mutual acquaintance.
To investigate the details, we interviewed a real Farman aircraft stored at Iruma Air Base in Saitama.
We kept the number of parts to a minimum so that anyone can enjoy assembling this beautiful French aircraft.
Please enjoy building it at your leisure, imagining the era when descendants of the Tokugawa family flew it.
