the FIRST WWI model

So I've found articles to scale aeroplane models that go way way back and reference the Wright Brothers and others building models far before those first flights...Even a heated rivalry between Britain and America over the "correct" rules for "flying sticks"...

Sure but what is the earliest example of a scale model of military aircraft used in active service?

Well there's an old Collins-Hancock model which was a military scout type but I don't know if it ever was used in the war.

So the earliest I found so far was a 1915 example of a Morane-Saulnier

Which, I have to say has a pretty sharp, look given at best they had only had plans from a magazine or newspaper. Cool.

Anyone else have information about these original WWI scale modellers? Other early or earlier examples?
