  1/48 LOIRE-NIEUPORT LN-411

  This is my Loire-Nieuport LN-411 from Czech manufacter Azur.

  The LN-40 was a dive bomber designed for the french navy. French air force decided to bought a derivative of this aircraft, without naval attributes, under designation LN-411.

  As these aircraft were quickly judged  too slow and too vulnerable, French Air Force refuse there. But as French Navy was desesperately looking for modern aircraft and had really no over choice, LN-411 were incoporate in front line units.

  During may june compaign against german army, LN-411 were involved in ground attacks and unfortunately the first impression about aircraft vulnerability was the right.

  Even with a 50% loss rate on certain mission, LN-411 pilots tried to do their best, but their sacrifice were vain.

  This kit is a short run but the quality is good, of course construction is not simple as a Tamiya model for example but it's the price to pay for originality!

  I made some little improvments to my model.The manufacturer offer flaps only in closed position, so I decide to cut there and realised internal structure with our best friends Evergreen.
