French Air Force M. Bloch 152 C1, No. 628 1/72 Smer/Heller

Bloch 152 C1, No. 628, of Groupe de Chasse II/9, 4th Escadrille,
based at Clermont-Ferrand on June 25th, 1940.

Smer re-issue of the old Heller 1/72 [Avions] M.[arcel] Bloch. Simple and vintage model kit but looks nice and right when built, as usual with Heller. Had to use a lot of putty, considering the small number of parts though. Scratch-built cockpit floor, unknown Revell pilot figure replacement and some cocades and blue dots from Airfix Devastator decals, otherwise straight out-of-the-box. Except the Hasegawa 1/200 civil airliner stand, of course!
