RS Models 1/48 Renault Caudron CR-714 C1


Recommended Posts

The most recent addition to my series of 1/48 WWII Fighter aircraft flown by Polish fighter pilots.  This is the RS Models  limited run model of the Caudron CR.714 flown by S/Lt Czeslaw Glowczynski whilst with the GC 1/145 "Varsivie" flight in May and June 1940 during the Battle of France. As can be seen in the first picture there were very few parts, no pegs for fuselage halves etc but with a bit of care and patience builds up into a reasonable model. Decals are from the MMP Camouflage & Decals book on 3 aircraft, the Caudron, MS 406 and Curtis Hawk H.75A, an excellent publication with large exploded views of the colour schemes which allowed me to attempt the very complicated camo scheme with an airbrush freehand.

Again I used the Hataka French fighters laquers paint set for this model, absolutely love these paints they show up the detail very well.

A silver colour pencil was used for the chipping effect.

A very complicated and unique colour scheme, every aircraft was painted differently.
