Whew, finally finished that wee bird!

Hobbycraft 1/48 kit, markings are from a Hobbycraft 109 box.

So : MS.406 in Croatian markings.  Don't ask why!

:D  :D

Another nice one mon ami!  :wub:

You're turning them out thick and fast, meanwhile I'm struggling to get a few minutes here and there to glue something or dab some paint on.  :angry:

Oh well, another year and a half and we're back to our own place in Pickering, and Monica has been informed in no uncertain terms that I WILL have a modeling space!

:wub: wonderful 406, so original Ollie...
But I fear almost all the other French (JMNs, Historians, and enthusiasts educated by these ones) will hate, judging this is insulting the memory of the pilots dead with the French roundels of the commercial kit :( . I disagree... this is a different celebration of a French plane :) adding to the Finland Morko-Morane and the late MS engineers would clap their hands, I think. :cheers:

Since those markings look suspiciously like maple leafs, we don't have to...


:P

She looks good in that colour scheme Ollie, looks slight more "modern" then when in the standard French scheme.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Ollie

Thanks guys!

Tophe, I would have put it in French markings, but I had none at hand!

Very nice Ollie, and obscure enough that you could pass it off as real to 90% of modellers  :party:

And what body part was extracted as payment for this bold statement??

I'm having it turned into a change purse.  :blink:
