Suggestions for HM's first 2 French Aircraft?

Curious as the French aircraft get little mention and IXO does do a few I believe.

My Votes

Dewotine 520

Morane Sauiner 406

Bloch 152

Douglas DB-7 and Curtiss H-75A.

Oh wait, you mean French planes made in France.

I'll go with the MS-406 first, followed by the Dewoitine D. 520 and Potez 631.

Re: Suggestions for HM's first 2 French Aircraft?

Actually the Hawk 75 / P-36 I'd love to see built as well as I think the French were the only ones to use thm on any scale. The French seems to like the aircraft vs some of their own. The Po-631 was the night fighter variant. I'd like to see someone make these rarer aircraft in any scale.

Potez 631/63-11, Dewoitine D. 520, and Morane Saulnier MS 406.
 

Brewster Buffalo, Hawk 75A, Fokker D.XXI, Polikarpov I-16, Fiat G.50, Macchi C. 200, PZL P.11c, Fieseler Fi 156 Storch ,,,, now those are real planes.

All in 1:72

1) Potez 630/631/633 (would like to see 63-11, but extensive re-tooling is required for this one)

2) MS 406

3) D 520

Once again you're on the money Ken with your suggestions. D520 and MS 406 for starters.

Re: Suggestions for HM's first 2 French Aircraft?

I am going with the Hawk 75.
I know its not a French plane but as said it was used heavily by the French and has a fascinating history because of that.

Otherwise I think I would go with the D520, it has a cool pre-war racer kind of look.
 

God Bless America.
