RidgeRunner Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 That’s great progress, Patrice. Watch out for the poor fit of the wheel wells when you get to that stage. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CliffB Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 It's looking good so far Patrice and the fuselage artwork should really lift the finished model. It's hard to see what the artwork options represent from here (apart from the black head), so I look forward to seeing more Cheers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jean Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 Bonsoir Patrice, great little kit and a plethora of exciting paint schemes related to the Algerian war. Have you got some hardware (AA52 gondola, rocket launcher stubs, etc.) to fit under the wings? I could not find any so will finish my own in Aeronavale markings, without anything hanging underneath. Better than nothing! Keep at it! Great work so far. JR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
