That gives me good argument to try that scratchbuild...

Thank you very much. The Edaurd kit is very nice and pleasant to build. But I had problems with painting, Techmod decals for a Polish aircraft... And finally I opted for the Blau Maus...

Thank you!
Srecko, the only problem with the Renard 36 is that the resin existing kits (Vami, Dujin, HR Models - anyway it's the same molds) are simply too bad to obtain a good result...
Perheaps, later, I will try a full scratchbuild - but not before some years...

Thank you, Srecko!
I'm far from the end I'm afraid... The Roden kit is nice but not perfect; it's not Wingnut Wings! I will have lot of work to do, but anyway it's a pleasant build and I want to make great job for that one...

1/144th scale is a funny scale to work with...

Thank you for the photos!
Alfred Renard was an excellent aircraft builder. The REnard 35 would have been a splendid aircraft for civil transport, but during the presentation to the press, even if it was just needed to show the aircraft running on the airfield, the pilot decided to take-off and unfortunately destroyed the aircraft and killed himself...
The Renards 36-37-38 would have been great fighters. There is a new book on that subject:

I've sanded the wings, removing the little "metalic" elements that are replaced by PE.
Lower wing
Upper wing
NB: The green color is just 3D paint for tissue. That will represent the cables.
Here is where I am actually...

I'm always working with PE:
Vickers is finished. Not the best possible result, but my best possible result...

I've removed from the PE sheet all the elements of the Vickers. I've sanded the vickers but some corrections are needed so, no possibility to continue today with that weapon...
...So, back to another funny game!
Light sanding...
"I" = "Inside"
...here is the "outside"
On each time there is not ONE but TWO PE part !!!

I've encountered another unexpected problem today...
As I had not many time to work on the Vickers, I just decided to remove some parts from the sprue. As always, I'm trying the fitting and... ouch...
...Not good at all...
So I've sanded the elements. Going better now...
...but look here!!!
I've opted for the following solution: to make the hole larger.
...on the left side the corrected part, on the right side the original one
The final result:
