The Little World

The Smēr model of the Moraine Saulnier MS 230 that was kindly donated by my friend Paul is destined to enter service in the Royal Ruritanian Army Air Force. It will be completed as Trainer Number One and assigned to Hentzau Field in Alberta.

The kit looks reasonable upon the sprue trees. No flash, few burrs, and a decent level of detail. I don’t fancy the struts all that much, but I see that they are divided in such a way that they may go on evenly. No brass, no resin, no crew.

I am a little sorry not to be using the decal sheet, as it is neatly printed…but that is no guarantee that it will not disintegrate as soon as you wet it.

I have not decided upon a scheme for RRAAF trainers yet – but it will be colourful.
