The Revell ( NZ ) model of the Morane-Saulnier N monoplane is the aviation equivalent of the spoiled vehicle kit it replaced – so simple in construction as to admit of assembly before painting.
The pilot – Dimitri – has been painted separately and can rest in the shade while the rest of the build goes on. The plastic is Revell silver – a throwback to my youth – but the moulding is surprisingly good. It all fits together as per the instructions. The thing has leapt together in two evenings.
The real test now will be to see if I have learned from my impetuous mistakes and can slow down enough to finish it well. Only two main colours and a few decals, but I am going to pester my friend Warren for a loan of the rubber rigging string. He has a big reel of it and so far it appears to work a treat.
