Not sure if someone has already mentioned this site.  It is a French site listing all the escadrilles with detailed information and pictures on many of them.

Skip to the 7min. mark on the vid in the link and it appears that the French are operating in 1/72 scale:

I saww that PJ, and my first thought was: can I recreate this as a diorama in 1/72nd?  :)
