So far it’s exactly what I’d expect from a Tamiya kit. Fit is really good with no issues. Looks like it will be a quick, easy build.   |

Oh that kit is a beauty! You're gonna love it. As long as you don't have a mishap while pulling off the canopy masks like I did, you will have a project to fall in love with. Ya gotta love those 1940 French Air Force aircraft for camouflage and marking schemes.

I’ve not heard of this plane before. Seems like a pretty interesting shape! I’m eager to see your finished result.

Ah. An obscure subject, to be sure. I've only heard of it because of stumbling across the kit on a website recently. Know nothing about it but it looks nice so far! Happy to watch along.

I have heard of this plane but don't think I've ever seen one built.
Good luck with the build!

It was the best French made fighter of the 1940 Battle of France, just entering service at that time and on par with the Bf-109E and Spitfire Mk.I in performance. But of course with the fall of France, future development to see where the design potential could have gone stopped. Remaining types equipped some Vichy squadrons, were used as advance fighter trainers by the Luftwaffe, while others went to German satellite state customers such as Bulgaria.

It's coming along nicely,I like panel lines on the bottom and the weathered look.

Looks nice, I've always liked the look of this one, as well as the D.500/510 series. All standouts in an age of French aerial monstrosities.
