That looks nice 

Shows what can be done with Unicraft

Very nice.
The dossiers section on the Hydro-Retro site has long been a favourite resource.
Bill Pearce has a good article on his Old Machine Press site, covering the VG 30 series and the various proposals.
Arsenal VG-30

Here's one for the engine switcheroo crew:
"The Arsenal VG 32 was an attempt to secure a second source of power for the VG 30 aircraft. A 1,040 hp (776 kW) Allison V-1710-C15 (-33) replaced the Hispano-Suiza engine, requiring the fuselage to be lengthened by 16.5 in (.42 m) to 28 ft 11 in (8.82 m). The wings were modified to accommodate one 20 mm cannon and one 7.5 mm machine gun. Because of delays with acquiring the V-1710 engine, the VG 32 project followed after the VG 33. The fifth VG 33 airframe formed the basis for the VG 32, and a desperate France ordered 400 copies of the aircraft in 1940. However, the Germans arrived before the V-1710 engine, and the VG 32 was never completed. The aircraft was captured at Villacoublay in June 1940."

Thank you for your messages. In fact, I started building this model more than 10 years ago, but due to the difficulty, I had put it aside. Then in 2020, during the lockdown, I got back to it. It took me almost every evening for 4 months to complete it. Out of the 25 models made by Univraft, how many have been assembled? Apart from Gaetan ODDOU's model, I only know of my assembly, and I modestly think that this one is more detailed: complete engraving, addition of details, surface polishing, etc.
An Unicraft assembly remains an adventure because it is the worst C;;;; in terms of modeling.

I doubt you'll have anyone here protesting that opinion. I have maybe 4-5 of them, and none have ever been finished.

That's WHY I've got 4-5 of them.............................

I like the idea of some of the subjects but i'm scared of attracting the wrath and scorn of Lee should I pay good (or bad) money for one.

You'd get that for SURE!

You need to be in the mood, but there is a sense of achievement once you finish one
