Hi Friends!

I finish my first model in 2014, at the time is a Renard R-31 Epervier. A nice and unique subject designed by Scissors and Planes in 1/100 scale. This model is very simple, but effective, I improve the build adding some details.

Renard R31. It's an interesting aircraft, produced in small amount (a little over 30 units) for Aeronautique Militaire in the 1930s. R-31 was used for reconnaissance, training, cooperation with the Army and eventually as provisory fighter. Were on active duty in two recon regiments when the invasion of Belgium by Germany took place in 1940. My model represents the Renard R-31 Epervier No. 33 from 9/V/1Aé based in Bierset in 1940.
Beside a graceful and advanced features for 1930's standarts R-31 have a poor manobrality and dangerous tendence to made a spin, the AeM pilots in this time hate the plane, but R-31 have a distintion to only belgian design to get combat in WWII.





















With FIAT CR-42...
