I
didn’t know anything about this plane until I saw it advertised as a new Azur
release. I can’t resist most French aircraft, and this one reminded me
of the planes in cartoon Dick Dastardly and Mutly from the 1970’s. I
knew this model would prove an excellent source of good-humored abuse from my
modeling mates who can’t see past Spitfires and Fw 190’s when it comes to
aesthetics. Suffice to say I was proved right!
I
should mention that the kit is but one of a plethora of brilliant kits coming
out of
Czechoslovakia
these days (and also
Russia
and the
Ukraine
). It featured numerous resin details, good decals, and was a breeze to
build. Overall it was a most enjoyable experience for very little money.
I have since read that there are some inaccuracies regarding the wing struts,
but the magazine concerned mentioned that it was a result of the kit’s release
that the stimulus existed for more information came to light. This said,
it could not be mistaken for anything other than a Br 27, and it certainly looks
like the photos of the real thing I have seen.
