Bjorn Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Of course I'm in! My stash is full of potential subjects! I just have to decide which one of all my French favourites I'll build. 😃 Mirage IIIB, C or E...? Or IV... Or Super Étendard... Or Vautour or even Trident? Or maybe a Citroën DS or Renault 4L...? Vive la France! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive la France! Now Bjorn, you know what @Enzo Matrix would say... ...now as much as I love Mirages, I have a really soft spot for the Renault 4, my aunt had one that she called her "Mountain Goat", it certainly coped with lugging me and my cousins to the beach via the downland of the Isle of Wight, this was the 1970's, no rear seat belts, tangled mess of kids sliding from side to side on the vinyl seats as the car lurched around the twisty roads! We all survived into adulthood. I saw this one on holiday last year, they're hard to make out but it has sports wheels! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie_c67 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 So if I read this right, a BA Concorde and an Free French Blenheim count? I’m in. Need a boot up the backside to get modelling again... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too... ...or am I? Plenty of room for more inside, the rules are simple: If it's French, it's in. If it's French made it's in (doesn't matter whose markings it's in). If it was used by the French, it's in! Land, sea, air or space, all are welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough Alex, I shan't add you to the list just yet but I'm sure I can safely say that Mirage hasn't hit the 20% built mark yet - just sayin' right Anyone else up for this GB? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I think I've found what I'll do for this GB. Special Hobby's 1/32 Morane Saulnier Type N 'RFC Service' From Wikipedia: The Morane-Saulnier N, also known as the Morane-Saulnier Type N, was a French monoplane fighter aircraft of the First World War. Designed and manufactured by Morane-Saulnier, the Type N entered service in April 1915 with the Aéronautique Militaire designated as the MoS-5 C1. It also equipped four squadrons of the Royal Flying Corps, in which it was nicknamed the Bullet, and was operated in limited numbers by the 19th Squadron of the Imperial Russian Air Force. I've always liked the look of this little monoplane and so this one will definitely be on the bench! I'm thinking of doing a Tamiya 1/20 Ligier JS.11 as well... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two very interesting subjects, I've always found the MS Type N an attractive subject and what could be more French than a Jaques Laffite driven Gitanes Ligier? Good choices, we just need to get through the poll and for that we need more members! If you're reading this and haven't signed up yet, what are you waiting for?

stevehed Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 I'm game too. I've got a Caudron R.11 vac form from Sierrascale. This will give me the incentive to get it done. Regards, Steve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
