If you like superlative builds, you will like this feature. I think I am not exagerating when I say that Joël Ducasse (Tichot) built the ultimate Bloch MB.152 model in 1/48 scale. Check by yourself!

Hi Joël

what a nice build .. much work to get things right but your result is outstanding!!

Thanks to Jean-Luc for creating the web article!

greetings

Simply amazing workmanship. Superb build!
This is one model in that small and selected bunch that are almost a shame to see painted and finished, hiding all the hard work done to the base kit(s).
Not that there's anything to complain about the paint job and finishing, quite the contrary. It looks as good as the work before it. It's good to have such comprehensive photo coverage on the model in-progress, as it offers a far better glimpse behind the scenes than just saying "some kitbashing, added some details and rivets on the exterior".
Great work inside and out.

Wonderful work Joël!

It really is an inspiration to see what can be achieved!

Thank you, Jean-Luc, for bringing us such a great article!

All the best

I like the model as well, and a very useful article.

And thanks for giving your mixing ratios for the French camo colours as well, i use Gunze/Tamiya paints and have just started preparing the resin parts of AZ Models MS406. Your paint mixes will save me a bit of time experimenting.

Stunning. Masterful. Enviable! I've got to study this article- many thanks, and congratulations on this beautiful achievement!

Hi all,




That's exactly what I told to M. Ducasse when I saw his model just before the painting stage...

I knew you would like this one.

Jean-Luc

aaarghh !he bloody frenchman from COTAM strikes again! I am melting with pleasure! Coucou Joêl!

Joel...Amazing work on your kit....As a fan of the MB-152C1 I am wondering why you picked the Classic Airframes over the FM kit? I have both and although I don't have the 3 views you used it seemed to me that the FM kit would be a better place to start. I would be VERY VERY interested in hearing your reasons.

Thank you.....Flypaper

simply unbelievable!!!

A stunning piece of work and a very good article

thanks a lot

Hi Jean,

Nice to meet you Here !




Hi Flypaper,

I will try to improve my english to answer you.

You're right, some pieces are best shaped on the FM model then on the Classic one, like the horizontal stabiliser and the wings. But i finaly decided to choose the Classic Airframe model because on the FM, on the fuselage, the distance between the canopy rail and the wing is too small. It would have been too mutch work on the fuselage halfs to accurate them.

Your choice is the following : Even you choose the Classic one and you'll have the most of work on the wings ; or you choose the FM one and your work will be principaly on the fuselage.

Up to you and good job.

Thanks a lot evrerybody, many thanks Jean-Luc.

Thank you for your input Joel, I am looking forward to your insight on the new 1/32 Azur MB152C1.....Thanks again Flypaper
