Parabat Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Excellent build, these stubby fighters really did get a hard deal in the tropical climate and yours looks spot on. Excellent detailing additions too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

russ c Posted August 29, 2013 Author Share Posted August 29, 2013 Hello Russ, The Groupe de chasse name is GC 1/22 saintonge. This is the name of an ex-Province on the Atlantic coast. Hi Antoine, My apologies for getting it wrong, I copied it from the instructions and it`s also spelled like that in a popular hobby mag I used as reference. Hope it didn`t spoil it too much.

stoohoo Posted August 29, 2013 Share Posted August 29, 2013 Great work Russ and really nicely done believable weathering, going to have a look at your firefly thread to pick up some tips for the next build. Seen a few knockers of the HB Bearcat re: accuracy but seen a few built up now and to me it looks a great kit, def one to add to the stash, Stu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
