Hello,
I've finished few days ago this model. From the Monogram box. Pretty old (released in 1966...), engraved and riveted. Hard built because nothing fits correctly. Nevertheless, I wanted to reach something appropriated to modern standarts with it !
I hope like it. Metal finish with a coat of As-12 bare metal Tamiya bomb and polished with graphit powder. The subject depicts the last F-5 St Exupery flew on in july 1944...
Cheers,
Anis.

Hi Anis,

Wow, fantastic looking model! And what seems to have been a very complicated and ambitious build. Is there any chance we can do a feature about it for Aeroscale?

Hi Anis

I agree with Jean-Luc that this should definitely be on the front page! Fantastic work!

By coincidence, I'm in the middle of packing my Stash ready to move home and came across one of these old kits yesterday. I nearly threw it away! I'm very glad I didn't, now you've shown us just how good it can still look!

All the best

Hi JL
Let me know what you need exactly. I'm happy that Monogram, one of my favorite, is still on the edge !
Cheers,

Superb work, especially considering the kit.

I hadn't heard about the disappearance of St Exupery in an F-5 before. I knew about Adiran Warburton's disappearance (April 1944), also in an F-5. Interesting how both these mysteries were solved within a few years of each other.
