- What a tremendous job,! I have to say that it is very difficult for me to understand something of the computerised process, but nevertheless this work must ne very rewarding once finished.........

- Rarely seen machine, and above all, in this version , very well done. it could have its share of succès in a competition....

-Beautifully done - Colorful striking camouflage....

- Another Great Jeannot - What else ?

- Thank you Bosse, in my long modelling career it is the first time I meet this kind of seat belts .Previously, decals, photo-etched, paper even scratched with wine bottleneck lead or old tooh paste tubes when not in soft plastic..were the usual stuff,, but why not those self-adhésive realistic fabric looking material. that's why it is recommended to fix them preiously on paper for ease of handling ... airbrush painting is mandatory with only a drybrush on the nice looking seams to sort them out ......O.K it deserves to be experimented.....let's see....

- Have ordered mine yesterday ;;; About the F 16 - I've just have look on it , very nice. I just wonder how to use the printed seat belt, I still don't understand, non speaking of their color ;

- I've got one from " rue de maquettes.com" and the F-104's one is available from " oupsmodels.com" between 30/35 Euro without postage.. - The best for your feet..

- Excellent - For many years I was tempted by these kits, there was also a Starfighter cockpit if my memory don't fail in the sam range.. never stepping up and your's has re ignited the fire; a bit late as I suppose they are difficul to find t an affordable cost. I will follow your W.I.P with great interest

- Sehr schön Werner

- It was a dog of a kit, it deserved better treaments by the kit industry, as far as I remenber the first and ony reproduction of this beatifull looking jet, was from Lindberg. Idon't remember if it was the short or long nose version- Owing to the period, the late fifties it could have been the short in Blue Angels colors I those days Iwas an inconditionnal of Buck DANNY - Yours is simply magnificent....

- Major BLATCH was the braviest amongst the braviest. -I own this small green book I received from the former Mayor of the village of Mijanes who told me this story when I brought the model for his museum. I rediscover it recently and I thought I could illustrate conviniently, by a short summary, the post of my model I had never posted yet on B.M and offering a good tribute to these heroes, the year the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landing. Thank you for your nice comment

- Impossible to conceal her origine, typicaly Italian , colorful and bright, another great Jeannot - I read somewhere before WW II France had ordered some of them for the A.A, do you know something about this ?

Thank you George - 2024 is the 80th birthday of the Normandy landing, (as well as mine) I've though it was a good manner to pay tribute to those allied soldier who remain on the beaches for ever..... -I'm sorry for the photo as they are not like those I usually show, but the delay to the inauguration day of the museum was limited, they are the only I took from my painting place from the window of my workshop which explain the one sided view, I paint it like a museum model ready to be exposed, without any weathering with only the mandatory markings visible.

- In the night of 5 December 1944 - Almost 80 years ago, a DC-3,FL-588 code NQ-Z of the 24 TRS SQ carrying 20 glider pilots of the Glider Pilot Regiment and three R.A..F crew members crashed on the "Pic de la Camisette" mount over the small village of "Mijanes" down in the valley of the Pyrenees chain under apalling winter weather. They were bound for the war against the Japanese. - Five of them survived albeit severly injured. Two of them , Major Blatch and Sgt BAKER were able to walk. At 10 AM after an awful night they went to search for rescue in the village where they arrived at 16 PM. On the 7th the rescuers found the survivors and headed to the safety in the valley carrying them on their back. .- On the 25 August 2005 remains of the Dakota were extracted from the mountain lake in which they had fallen by a team of the 67 Rgmt d Helicoptere and on of it's PUMA. an engine,a propeller, a piece of wing amongst other parts were extracted and installed in a small commemorative museum of the village whose mayor heard I was one of those crazy having the strange childhood habit to play with small plastic planes, soI proposed him to built model of the DC 3 for his museum......

- Brengun landing lights are fantastic, it is a must-have.....

-Thank you for your very nice comment. The kit is a resin kit from the Czech brand MPM/HML in quater inch scale This brand is ( was ?) specialized in rare model never to be found in traditionnal kits models firmas like for instance the Arado Ar 240 and others

- All my best wishes for this coming new year to you all modellers and your families

- -HI Richie, there you are hidden, the subject by itself is not in the center of my interest even if i'm an inconditionnal of Startrek and Stargate SG1, But the work you are accomplishing is tremendous, hat off Sir

- A beauty....! Sally at this scale was in my dreams in the days of my Japanese period......C'est du Grand Jeannot

-Thank you, about CZECH MODELS, they are simple kits, if you compare them to actual standards but they are easy to built OOB or requires the usual modification for such kits.if you want to have a model looking like its subject. I don't remember wether they inclued some modest resin accessories like the wheels but it is possible All in all C.M offers a range of models impossible to find in other renown manufacturer range; They may have ceased their activities
