Title: P-400 l´Armée de l´Air de l´Armistice
Post by: PantherG on February 20, 2012, 11:51:20 PM

My last finished kit....

Bell P-400 C-1 "Serpente de l´Air" / "Aérocobra"

On June 1940 was first P-400 delivered to French Air Force / l´Armée de l´Air . After end of hostilities between French and Germany the remained Bells were used by the l´Armée de l´Air de l´Armistice / Vichy Air Force  mainly in Algeria and Syria.
This plane is from 5. Escadrille GC 3/6 piloted by S/Lt. (2.Lt) Pierre LeGloan, Rayak airfield ,Syria before hostilities between Vichy Air Force and RAF.

Kit is 1:48 P-400 Eduard "Weekend edition" straight from box (without camouflage and marking.... off-course  :D )....

Agreed! Subtle but with enough detail to know that #2 is running a little rich  ;)
