It is simply beautiful. I got one from Classic Airframes waiting to be done. Mine is going to be done as the one flown by Polish pilots in France.

Thanks Jean-luc, but the radiator is only one part of the rectification process! Nevertheless, the Az kit can be turn in to a great model with skill patience and a large doc!

Hi Jean,

Super job! I built the old Hobbycraft MS.406 long ago. The AZ kit looks to be far superior.

I know Luftwaffe is popular for their camouflage but for my money, nothing beats the camouflage of the Armée de l'Air.

Again, super job!
