That's the thing with French birds, they look nice but are high maintenance.........as I sip on my French wine in a Toulouse hotel!Originally posted by \I'm not putting that work into a smoking hole in the ground Rick I quite like the look of the Super Etendard.

Nice progress joe , it is a beautiful looking machine isnt it , but one that for most of us will always be associated with the exocet and the sinking of the sheffield . I agree about dassault making good looking aircraft too , i can't think of a dud off the top of my head, cheers tonyComment

Nice work going into this Joe.Comment

Just been thinking joe , before he changed his name ( he was formerly Marcel Bloch ) he gave us the mb 200 bomber , which looked a bit like a flying tin shed!! But then again a lot of other early french aircraft did too! TonyComment

Um, yep just had a look at the MB200 and you're not wrong! Did not know he changed his name, just presumed Bloch was one of those companies that went the way of so many others after World War Two.Originally posted by \Comment

Just caught up on this and she looks a fine aircraft indeed.
I'll be following this to its conclusion if that's ok Joe.
I've always fancied doing a French Aircraft but never have.
So far it's looking very nice even for a 1/72 size.

I've got a bit of leave from work at the moment so I'm back to the bench. No photos to show unfortunately, all I did today was strip paint. I had started the Aregntine scheme and then had a change of heart and it's now going to wear the two-grey French scheme.Comment

NIce work mate. I haven't seen any suE s around on the forum for a long time. Funny original kit manufacturer, never heard of themComment

Mine won't be as weathered or used looking, but I do like the French two-tone grey scheme on this aircraft. It looks more business-like than the perhaps smarter dark grey over white.
The original paint stripped, and the model re-primed. Light grey will be next. I have had to remove a few items (one snapped off) but it's all repairable.
