John Masters Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 This was a nice little kit and I found it had no issues that needed to be fretted over. It was a fun kit to build and one of my absolute favourite aircraft from the 1930s. Unfortunately it was obsolete almost the second it came out of the barn.

Toryu Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 It may have been obsolete but it was one of the best-looking planes of the late thirties. As is your model (not of the late thirties but best-looking...) 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 That looks very nice, Sir. I have just gone through your build log, and it was most instructive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAT69 Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 (edited) Very good looking model. I'm not familiar with the type but I do find it attractive. Edited August 11, 2020 by SAT69 spelling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heather Kay Posted August 11, 2020 Share Posted August 11, 2020 Very sweet. This is one of planes that lingers on the periphery of my 1940 obsession. I wonder if I’ll end up with an example sooner or later! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Masters Posted August 11, 2020 Author Share Posted August 11, 2020 4 minutes ago, Heather Kay said: which I think was just still flying in 1940. They were being used as training aircraft since the D.520 had been in service since early 1940. I think the 500/501/510 series was done by 1938. I think you have built the Morane-Saulnier M.S.406 which was the primary fighter from '38. What breaks my heart is that no 500-510 still exist. Someone should build a 1:1 replica... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
