They obviously have ambitions to be a French Hasegawa equivalent.......... :angry:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

The Alize's are out (Alizi ?). I quite fancy this but almost £35 seems a bit steep ? Is it bigger than I thought ?

Nope its Gannet sized and should really be in the 20-24 quid range max

That's what I thought Geoff. Might have a look on EBay - just did £27 + £8 postage from France. Think I'll skip it

Azur and MPM product lines are being discontinued   :banghead:

The 50% sale of Azur and MPM is still going on (there's also a lot of CMK bits in the sale too):

I've always liked the B-10.  It's rare to find an aircraft with a conservatory half way down the fuselage.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Yup  ;D

I've always liked it as well, it's just "screams" 30's at me. I built the William's Bros' kit many moons ago as an R.A.F. bomber in all over "Nivo" for the S.I.G.'s Scale Model World display back in 2008. We did a "Centenary of the R.A.F." display 10 years early and it was the only time we've ever been able to pull off a themed display  ;D

The William's Bros kit is quite nice considering its age by the way.

They did some good stuff, I have their BIG C-46 at home that's been waiting to be finished for 20 yrs plus. ANOTHER one I need to get done!

I can see a B10 on skis.  Finnish, Soviet or Canadian maybe.

Certainly Soviet, it has the look. maybe a radial engined competitor to the AR-2 ?



I may now need two, one will be real world RNEIAF, but you now have started me thinking  :rolleyes:

The first of their B-10's is now available at the Big H. Not the boxing I've pre-ordered unfortunately, but can't be far off  :thumbsup:

Spanish Republican B-10, escorted by P-26 Peashooters. :thumbsup: Have to rewrite the international politics, of course.

This nearly happened BTW: the Republicans operated one P-26 demonstrator briefly, and they placed an order for B-10s, but it was blocked by the State Dept. When the Polikarpov I-16 appeared over Spain, the Nationalist forces used to call them 'Boeings' in the belief that they were a P-26 development bought from the USA.
