richdlc Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 not a very prestigious history I'm afraid: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Caudron_C.714 but nice looking plane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R Palimaka Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 This is one I've been wanting for a long time. It was an attractive little aircraft, but woefully inadequate as a fighter. It was flown by the Poles despite its shortcomings, and in spite of an order to withdraw the aircraft from operations. It sort of captures the desperation of the French Campaign. I'm thrilled I can now build 1/32 scale models of almost all the single engine fighters the Poles flew with the French in 1940 (MS.406, D.520, MB.152, Curtiss H-75). The only one left would be the Koolhoven FK.58, and I'm not holding my breath on that one! Too cool!! Cheers, Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikester Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Cool, I love those French subjects, some really interesting markings. I need to get around to picking up a Hawk one of these days, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
