This is the FREMS 1/48 MB 339
PAN in the colors of Flecce Tri Colori. Basically built out of the box, the kit
has nice fit but the plastic is a little soft and sands off very easily.
Unfortunately the kit is a
very heavy tail sitter, and I realized the gravity of this problem when I sealed
the fuselage! Darn!
Nevertheless I stole the
display stand from my AA Models A5C Fantan, which is nicely molded in clear
plastic and mounted the MB 339. Problem solved.

Actually it looks better
somewhat with the stand. The full decal can be displayed on the underside with
the landing gears down.
Decal sheet is very thin and
with a little decal solution, it sticks very well. It’s always a challenge
when you need to apply an acrobatic decal- it stretches from nose to the tail on
multiple surfaces.
