Can't quite tell from the pics, but seems to be Belgian decals (Nils will be happy!) <snip>
Give that man a cigar! Belgium it is!

The scale is 1/72, and the idea is it's a fast, small and cheap light point-defense fighter. The entire model is about three inches long. It's about the same size in scale as a Nieuport 28. I spent some time comparing the size of the drop tank to a pilot figure to make sure there'd actually be enough room.

Hoping to get the undersides painted tonight. Might get lucky and have pics and a backstory up Monday.

:o  Note to moderators - we really, desperately, need one of those 'we are not worthy' smilies.

French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.
