For the Canvas Falcons campaign I will be entering Eastern Express' 1/72 Morane Saulnier I finished in Imperial Russian colours.




The kit is quite basic, but a test fit has revealed that all goes together fairly well. I'll be filling in the cockpit with a pilot, spare from Airfix's very good and much missed DH.4.
The engine is really the only bad thing I've found, it's featureless and misshaped, but I hope that the spinner will hide it from view.


The roots of both wings have needed a little sanding along with some scraping of the corresponding fuselage slots to get a good fit. Besides from that, all seems good so far.
