Chuck's Bloch MB 210 in 1/72 scale *Finished*

Post by Chuck Finley »

For my entry, I plan on building the old Bloch MB 210 by Heller as a aircraft flown by GB II/19 during the Munich crisis from September to October 1938. The kit will be built stock but DP Casper's "Fall Grun" (#72020) decal sheet will replace the kit decals.

It's French bomber of the 1930s. Of coarse it will be ugly. :P

I do like these early French types. A very 'squared jaw' looking aeroplane. I guess Bloch by name Block by nature :-D

I finished pre-painting the interior and begun the initial build. All-in-all, not a difficult build.

Thanks; and the ugly will linger as I begin painting the rudder stripes.
