Joël Ducasse (Tichot), is back with another of his superlative build. For the first time he experienced the joys of vacuform with the 1:48 scale JMGT Caudron Renault C-635 M "Simoun" kit. You can already bookmark this feature as reference!

Hi Joël
Absolutely stunning - a real masterpiece!
I've never spotted this kit on the shelves over here, but I did build JMGT's Caudron-Renault CR-714 back in the '90s - another good qualty vacuform with nice resin and white-metal details. I just wish I could have built it half as well as you...
All the best

Wow, your build is absolutly stunning! I like this plane very much with its extensive interior...
It looks very difficult to get these vacuform kits together, I have never tried to build one, perhaps in 100years I'm going to try this
And I always wanted to try your post-shading technique. Very nice weathering you achieved there!
Looking forward to see your next build!
