Title: Morane Saulnier Type 'N'
Post by: Mike Norris (UK) on February 13, 2015, 11:38:39 PM

Hi all,
I thought you might like to see my Morane Saulnier Type 'N' of No.1 Squadron, RFC during March, 1916.
The kit was from Special Hobbies with third part extra's of turnbuckles and Lewis Gun from Gaspatch, seat belts from HGW and figure by Model Design.
The manufacturer's logo on each side of the engine cowl were made as the kit decals did not supply it.

Lovely finish, the subtle weathering effect looks very convincing and suggests a used machine.

Impressive!

Putting up some bigger pics would be good.

Very nicely weathered, just enought to give that "used" look, the rigging is superb with the use of turnbuckles adding the finishing touches, well done.

Just trying a transfer of your larger photos to the forum, works fine and there is no limit to the number you can post, clicking the photo will display it to its full size. If you need to know how to post your full size photos here please ask me and I will give you full directions, it's easy.

Hi all,
Many thanks for your forum comments on my models.  It means a lot to have comments from many who I consider ‘masters’ in this craft  :)
