The Little World

I am vastly pleased so far with the Morane Saulnier MS 230 kit. I have a wing, a fuselage, wheels, and an aero engine.

The fit of the kit is superb. No open seams and no filler needed. I may run afoul of the struts and wheel braces but I am being soothed by the way everything else is working.

And I have a clue to follow up; my friend Warren says this is the same plane that was used in the movie ” The Blue Max ” as the fatal prototype that accounted for George Peppard. I must Google it to see if I can spot the similarities. I will not be painting camouflage on my example, unless you want to hide it in a sideshow at the fair.

A reader has suggested yellow and black stripes, but that might attract fire from other trainees who think it’s a target tug but can’t find the sleeve. Or who have a grudge against Ruritanians.
