This scratch build has been brewing for about 25 years, no French Revolutionary collection should be without an observation balloon and I have finally got round to making it.

I thought they were hot air balloons. I was wrong, hydrogen filled instead. Do not smoke a pipe while observing!

Great model

Even the cockade on the hat of a guy in the basket can be seen! Amazing project! Well done!
