Frederic Andre Summary in English pp. 289-333

Edward M This is supposed to be a really nice kit. Do you need French air force colours? I don't use mine a lot.

Sören Reifert Really nice build Frank!

Es-haq Khosravi Great job!

Frank Richter Something is wrong with the Image engine, all pics are resized with wrong aspect Ratio...

Dave Flitton Nice cockpit!!

Martien Lourens Very nice build

Hanno Kleinecke Amazing work, especially the seat and cockpit details!

Gerald Willing Saubere Arbeit Frank

soheil moghisi Very nice

Frank Richter Danke !! )

Marcus B. Allright, the urge to build something new has yet again reached the critical lever - this time around something French from early in the war. First time I'm building something from Hasegawa, kind of excited to see for myself if they're all they're cracked up to be.

Also, it's a double pack - starting off with the Dewoitine.

Marcus B. Final verdict - two basic, but very enjoyable kits, suitable for beginner modeller or someone like me, who just likes to put those things together and play a bit with the airbrush. No issues whatsoever during the building process, the fit of all parts was superb.

soheil moghisi nice.

Tom Tecce The idea: make it a simple, quick build, focusing on achieving a clean paint job.

Tim Vereecke Need such a project too

Steve Wilson Hi Cookie, you're Stepfather should be proud to have it in his shocase, well done

Duncan Cook Thank you Steve, I'm not so happy with the Tail. but I tried tohide it a bit with paint.

Steve Wilson Ha!! Now isn't that just the way, until you said something, I never noticed...
And even so still extremely difficult to notice, it will only take a very experienced eye to notice so no problem... Still well done Duncan

Duncan Cook I just checked mz luggagge: I forgot mz bluetooth dozle, so I have no pictures for you now, but I will get a cheap one at a Saturn during the next days.
