Here's a fine build article of AZmodel's 1/48 scale Morane Saulnier MS 406 by Andrew Beard (CMOT70). Like Andrew wrote: you can't go past those yellow and red markings can you?

Nice masking trick, but - oh the horror of misaligning. This is the reason why I seldom show more than one side of my planes here. Symmetry is not always easy to find, but you made i great recovery Andrew. Nice finish, and beautiful colours.

Thanks for the posative comments.

Actually i have to admit that i was only expecting it to be a photo feature! Jean-Luc went the extra yard and compiled my build blog notes into a full feature, thanks Jean-Luc. Next time just let me know, and i'll do the compiling part myself and send it! I'm sure you're busy enough as it is.

It turned out great. Beautiful markings, and the paint work is wonderful.

Andrew, I was about to publish the article as a photo feature but I wanted to include some informations about the model. So I read the original thread again and I realized that the text would make a nice build feature without too much additional work... I think the result was worth the extra effort!

What!!!

By the way, in France, we say about "Vichy" aircraft that they are wearing pyjamas.
