Vickers F.B.5 #5074 (full color)

This is a full-color 3D print of Vickers F.B.5 #5074 of №11 Squadron, as flown by Lt. Gilbert Stuart Martin Insall and Air Mechanic Thomas Ham Donald.  On 7 Nov 1915, while flying #5074, they brought down an Aviatik and dropped a small bomb on it to ensure its destruction.  As they flew home, their fuel tank was hit by ground fire and they were forced down.  After guarding #5074 all night long and repairing the fuel tank, they made their way home to the aerodrome the next morning, earning the Victoria Cross and Distinguished Conduct Medal respectively.

No painting is necessary -- this model comes printed in full color, ready to use.  It comes with an integral flight peg for mounting on game flight stands (not included), which can be carefully removed with a cutting tool, if desired.  The peg is designed for a fairly tight fit; you can file it down slightly if you prefer a looser fit.  The model does not come with a flight stand, maneuver deck, or plane card.  You can find an unofficial plane card for this plane in this paint scheme at https://linen.miraheze.org/wiki/File:VicFB5-5074-card.jpg.

Material choice: High-Definition Full Color has a smoother, satiny surface and deeper colors; Full Color Nylon 12 (MJF) makes a less expensive alternative, with a rougher, matte surface and less deep blacks.  Both are robust materials and fine for gaming.   Attached here is a picture that shows the difference between the surfaces.  "Matte HDFC" choice means the prints are spray-coated in the factory, and the difference with the coating is subtle.  You can find more material photos and comparisons at https://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?35581-Material-HDFC-vs-Full-Color-Nylon-12-(MJF).
