My build was not going to be out of the box but when I started this model I thought it would be over quickly.

It was not …
All parts are very fine and the most beautiful I've seen from Eduard, and yet it is difficult to build.

I used Vikers from Part and Humbrol paint:

• Black: is black....

• Light green: Hu 90 + 2x Hu 102

• Dark green:6x Hu116 + 6x Hu117+ 1x Hu163

• Dark brown: 2x Hu29 + 1x Hu60 + 1x Hu33

Here you can see different colours for the same federal standard reference:

• french-5-color

The colours depend of the mark....

I believe I would paint it by using of painting Humbrol and by blending them. I'm using this site:

• conversion table
• http://www.wwi-models.org/misc/Colors/French/humbrol.html

I'm used windsock N°32 and this site where you can find all you need (200 photo?):

I built a pilot with an Eduard pilot from "Aeronautique Militaire Francaise 1916" for a small diorama.
