Hi folks,

A thread for your ideas and inspiration for Marcel Bloch Fighters - MB.150 - 157?

To begin with, here is my rough concept for an advanced MB.157 with bubble canopy:

 Thread revival!

What about a carrier based MB.152?

Or a derivative as shown below:

Nice colour schemes!  :)

Are there any kits of these? I'd expect Heller to have covered at least one of them, but I don't recall seeing it.

Most planes deal with the torque effect of the propeller slipstream by having the fin slightly offset. The Bloch 150 et al did it by having the engine slightly angled to one side, which can look very odd in an accurate plan view....

Yes there are multiple kits in various scales available.
