Farman F.321 Lalouette and de Permangle record flight 1931 - SBS Model 1/72nd resin

 

A beautiful kit of a beautiful plane, what else could you ask for.

SBS Model has again excelled, issuing this jewel with great detail, precise fit and sensible engineering. A small photo-etched set, good instructions and a nice set of decals complete the package, all nicely tucked in a sturdy box that won’t be crushed in transit. It requires care of course when removing the resin parts from their pouring blocks, cleaning them up and checking the fit before committing. Beware of the smallish parts, don’t lose them!

That article will in turn have some links that will send you to others with historical information from contemporary publications, photos, etc.

It was a real pleasure to build this kit, and surely modelers will be delighted with it.

The engineering seems to indicate that other variants may be produced, and I am looking forward to them!
