I overlooked it when I opened mine and almost lost it), information sheet like the PV7, and decals. The serial number was something of a surprise. The real thing had and kit info indicates it as a/c #2449. The decals are 2440. Overall, a nice kit, especially for the price. I'm interested in seeing a US price. I bet it's nearly double.

I was able to quickly put it on the FMP plans, and it's an exact match. Next I plan on measuring it, and comparing it against the IRAS plans published in Windsock a while back. Very nice! This is the best HR kit I have now. Sure, there are small problems, but nothing that can't be overcome. The kit comes with decals *and* p/e. The decals are extremely well done and very nice. Nothing at all like some of the others I have seen in HR kits. For the most part, everything is to scale as well. Unfortunately there's one part missing - the anchor... :-) Now my dilemma. My first build of anything that originated in France has to be French. However, I haven't been able to find any photos of MoS G's in active service. Help? If not, I may have to build an IRAS bird.

I once did an ammo belt for a 1/72nd scale Dornier 18 (OK, WWII but still 1/72nd :->), using thin strips of tape for the belt itself. Instead of using styrene and painting it I used fine brass wire cut to length and filed at one end for the "business end". Laid the tape strip down sticky side up, laid my "bullets" in place, and then another strip of tape over top to sandwich them in. Worked great!
