I have had this in the stash for a long time, it is my only French aircraft
A very old kit. Not particularly well engineered
it did, however, come with its own pilot figure - bonus!
The decals disintegrated at the mere sight of water, so I found some Italian ones and painted them as best I could
Not my best work but it will do.
Like it!
ReplyDeletenice Al , 1,098 built they say ,telescopic gunsight ( to see the white of there eyes ) still out class by bf 109's
ReplyDeleteNice painting work, and fine machine
ReplyDeletehere was lot of them
(Read also Bogey or Ogre Morane)
A good example of how rapid development was in the 30s and 40s. The little Morane was fine when it was designed, but was soon outclassed by the Me 109. However, the French had the Bloch MB152 and the Dewoitine D520 coming along and would soon have been able to match the German machines, but they didn't have enough of the new kit to run a strategy like the Brits four months later who could pit the Spits against the Mes and the Hurricanes against the bombers. the Moranes were just that bit underpowered and underarmed.
ReplyDeleteNice bit of history there LG, and cheers lads, I'd like a bomber to add to my French collection one day
DeleteNot a bad job at all, settle for it as French 'plane kits ain't exactly common
ReplyDeleteLooks cool, a model made is better than a model "just in the box"
