Nice looking kit. Welcome to the GB Patrice. With a name like that you’ll surely be modelling a French ( or possibly Canadian) machine

Nice work there Patrice, it looks really good. I remember as a youngster reading about Max Guedj in Clostermann's compilation, "Flames in the Sky". It is really good to see that brought to life.
