Title: FAB Ms 406
Post by: Acree on March 21, 2017, 01:52:26 AM: Just some light relief from the hard work on the Bristol Bergen...

This is my Fuerza Aerea Boliviana M.S. 406. This is the Hobby Boss Easy Assembly kit in 1/72, built almost entirely OOB (I did give it a DF loop in the normal upper radio antenna position, moving the radio antenna aft - those were the only mods other than markings). The decals were from Blue Rider Gran Chaco War sheet #2. This represents an M.S. 406 from the First Grupo (hence the Maltese cross insignia on the starboard side).

Hope you like it!
