Identification for 2 Airfix WW1 aircraft in 1/72 scale.

[Saxon]

I know this is an odd question but these two kits have popped into my head of late and I don't know which kits they actually are.

The only clues I can give are they are both two seater fighters.

One has the observer pointing towards the sky/off to the side.

The other has the observer (I think, could be the pilot) about to hand drop a bomb.

Any idea as to which kits these might be?

Only the Roland C.II had the kit pilot pointing upwards
Perhaps it was different on the artwork

The Airfix Hannover CL111A has the rear gunner standing, firing his machine gun.

The Bristol fighter normally had a hole punched through the 'card' so what the aiman at the back was doing was never clear.

The Brisfit was an early kit and its crew were the spacemen type cut off at the knees afair.

Airfix has only made 6 WW1 2-seaters;
Airco D.H.4
Hannover
Roland
Bristol Fighter
RAF RE8
RAF BE2C

I do not believe Revell made any WW1 2-seaters, nor Frog. These would be the only makers to have included crew, other makers who made 2-seaters, Merlin, Pegasus etcetera do not include any figures in any kit. Esci and Academy also made WW1 types but they were single seaters, again, with no figures.

~ However - the Handley Page O/400 has a front gunner standing and pointing upwards; he of course could be used in any WW1 type

That was my first thought too but the reference to two seater put me off

Thanks for you help. Sorry I was meaning fighters rather than bombers. Maybe I am getting my kits or makers confused. But I am sure there was a WW1 kit where one of the crew was dropping a bomb by hand.

I will check out the ones you all suggested too.
