Morane Saulnier 406 / Halinski 2/2006 / 1:33

[Dayn]

A few months ago, I purchased a kit from Papel3d (Recortables, maquetas y juegos en papel).
It was the swiss version of the Morane Saulnier 406 edited by Tri Krabki. When I opened the kit, I have been desappointed by the level of accuracy. I ordered a second kit edited by Halinski with the laser cut frames. Obviously, this kit satisfied me but this plane had french markings. I decided to scan and redraw the plane to get a swiss version. The plane has red and white stripes adopted during the fall of 1944. These markings were intended to avoid confusion with belligerent aircrafts. A few weeks earlier two swiss bf-109 had been shot down by american P-51. Indeed the swiss air force attempted to intercept all planes entering the national airspace ( 244 bombers and fighters had been confined or shot down at the end of the war). The plane I am redrawing has a shark's mouth and I think you'll like it too.
