Salmson 2a2; 581 squadron//Gaspatch//1:48

Good Day
,
This model represents one those being purchased from French squadrons in 1919. One can see French 581 sq emblem being visible on the fuselage.
Per the kit itself I must admit that the amount of parts is very impressive. The only weak feature deals with the technology of manufacturing the thin and lengthwise parts, which separation ended up with break off in many cases:)











thanks
K

What a terrificl build. Love the little scratches on the cowling, super neat rigging too. I'm growing to love French camouflage patterns. Yours is beautifully painted. 👏👏👏😀

I agree completely with Rick.

This kit is high on my "To Get" list and just went up a notch or two.

I didn't know the Poles had Salmsons, although they seem to have had a wide mix of aircraft between what the Germans left in depots and what they were able to get from other countries post Armistice.

Great work on a superior kit!
