...Maestro of larger scales absolutely. If he'd take on super-detailing the ancient 1/72 Heller Amiot 143 kit ala two other builds I'd seen on the Internet would have another pattern to build this beast maybe late next year with proverbial bearskins & bone knives, don't want to spend dime more on third-party parts than necessary doing so. Other 1/72 Heller candidates include the Bloch 152 & Breguet 693 though newer MPM/Azur/Special Hobby kits are better particularly the 152. His 1/48 Tamiya Dewoitine 520 is magnificent right down to the "Blue de Nuit" interior paint spec'd for pre-WWII & Vichy French fighters, bomber, attack et. al. aircraft interiors were "Chamois Sable". Way far more Armee de l'Air painting research & color brand matching info today than just a decade ago, eons more than that available 53 years ago when built my first painted Heller Breguet 693 horrible as it was, didn't build another till the mid-1980s.
