1:48 Morane Saulnier MS 472 Vanneau

Post by Cherrylock »

This is a trainer that is forgotten, if you know the a/c you only found it in a book but not un the shelf. I only found this kit never seen before and buyed it, it is a terrible kit, nothing will fit togetter and I filled gabs with car putty...grrrr, not the best start for a alu-bird. French airforce have not the polished aircraft, they all were flat, and this one was based in algeria, so the surface is polished with sand storms.

That's a new one on me, I've never seen any french trainers before - it's a smart lookign beast though.

Another very nice build CL - it looks superb. (great base too).

Wow! That's definitely a rare sight.
I'm assuming it's the FM kit, right? This given, you did a really great job in mastering that mule of a kit.

I hear pretty bad things about Fonderie Miniatures kits. Are they true? Because the finished product looks very good.
