1/72 Belgian Martlet Mk.1

[Spey_Phantom]

this going to be a semi-whif, as i discovered this morning the Belgium actually ordered at least 10 of the type before way 1940. unfortunatly these were never delivered and transfered to the Royal Navy.

the kit im gonna use is the 1/72 (i think) NOVO F4F Wildcat kit, looks a bit crisp but i think its gonna turn out ok

Good idea Nils. There is a lot of mileage in aircraft that were orderd by European countries prior to the outbeak of war and never delivered.

Got a number of Martlets planned.....French, Vichy France and Finnish (ex-French!).

sounds like a neat project, i read in the same article that France did order martlets for the Aeronavale (G-36) to operate on its 2 new aircraft carriers, there was even a whiff on the Bruges Hobbytime modelshow last month, here's a pic

Oh! my god. what kind of box art is that. I don´t know the builders.
Ah! the idea is quite good, and the plane of the photo looks great, like the figures

Very interresting project, Nils.

Do you have some doc on that topic?

Yes, I'm not a child, I remember the initial times, but who is the builder. I know my words could seems contemptuous, but it isn't my intention, in one of my blogs I am making a brief series over old kits www.teidehobby.com I have respect and cult for the old kits. the horrible level of english , is the cause of this misunderstood.

Looks like a Novo rerelease of the old Frog kit.

If that is what you are asking.

Then the merit is double. I make the Avro shakleton of Modelcraft ex-frog, and I know is difficult.

Go for it
