Thanks a bunch Gent's - Bertl, Zac, Sandy, Steve, Andreas & Malaula

That's it, the finished Morane N... Ta Daa!



The rigging went really well with my own recipe. I've used some of the photoetched turnbuckles supplied in the kit.
+ some brass tubes... The Lewis machine gun is from the spares box, with the added photoetched details of the kit.













I decided to go heavy on the weathering, maybe a bit too much, what say you?

My first build since the operation, cheers: Kent

Thank you Zac. In the beginning I was struggling with the build, but in the end it was a pleasure and everything
came together quite nicely. Well on to new adventures...

Outstanding Kent, simply spectacular work. This is a brilliantly made model.

I am really happy this model has helped you in your recuperation after your operation.

cheers

Great result, Kent.  I don't think the weathering is overboard - looks right.

    Having recently done this kit in the same scheme I can say you've done a magnificent job here Kent. Your rigging is particularly realistic and I really like the weathering as well. If this is any indication I'd say your recuperation has come along in leaps and bounds, well done and my sincere compliments, I know the challenges as I have a Son who suffered a brain injury.

Lance
