Caudron 600 Aiglon, Spanish Nationalist AF ca. 1937, SBS, 1/72

[JWM]

Hi,

I a series of small double setters - after three German, two Italian, two Czechoslovak time from one from France - the Caudron 600 Aiglon. This was important sport/touring machine (more here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caudron_C.600_Aiglon ), during WW2 impossed to some aemies and even before served military during Spanish Civil War (on both sides) .

The model is done OOB (except the rotating prop) from the beautiful resin kit by Hungarian SBS company. However, the scheme of 30.6 given in box is a bit simplified (or just different) compared to the real thing. 

Here is link to photo of real thing:

Please note not uniform background color near markings...

And here the interpretation of artist to the box

Thanks! It was hard to decide which side shall I do, finally I decided nationalists since only Breguet XIX of Frnch machines I have not in Republican livery, now it is 2:6 on a French part...It is mine #44 from Spanish Civil War.

Nice job on the Caudron, J-W! That's one I've been thinking about buying for my SCW collection. I hope the Republican machine has a simpler camouflage!

 

Best Regards,

Jason, thank you! The SBS kit is very nice to construct, almost like an injected kit, It was a difficult choice: in which side colors finally build this kit? In Cuatro Vientos Museum the Miles Hawk and I-16 are painted from one side as Republican frm the another as Nationalist... But I did not decided to do that much conventional...
