Lebanese and Cambodian?!? This little plane sure got around! (Though I suspect most of the French hand-me-downs were Morane-Saulnier MS.500-series Criquets.)
It's cool that SteveB's repaints are generating interest in this earlier release.
yeah, the Fi156/MS.500 is a great little flyer, it can go practically anywhere, clearing in the forest.... no problem, on a short beach.... no problem. Great looking schemes. this thread has made me dig up my old paintkit i made for it and set back to work :ernae:
**EDIT screenshot coming of my basic paintkit....
Both of my grandfathers would turn in their grave if they knew I was suggesting this, seeing as they fought (one killed) on the Republican side of the Spanish Civil war ...
But I can't help but think that some form "what if" early fifties Ejercito del Aire paint would be nice ... I remember some amazing vineyards and olive groves in Andalucia that I wouldn't mind revisiting ... hmmm .... fresh bread, Manchego cheese, fresh olives, and a glass (or two) of fine Rioja to wash it down ... :friday:
In my indulgence, I might get caught giving El Caudillo the finger as he overflies in his JU-52 ... in which case I'll definitely need to sneak away in a Storch parked nearby ...
