SIG 144 Members forum

Rather unusually, this early 50s French prototype didn't crash on its first flight, and never killed anyone, although it was only flown once. This probably related to a realisation that it was a lot of airframe, with a lot of rear-facing structure, for two early Nenes. The front fuselage of this aircraft always makes me think of reconstructions of sauropod dinosaurs. Not my best model - it's an old-fashioned kitbash and I couldn't get a smooth join between the assorted kit bits, fillers, reclaimed flint tools and other parts that are loosely associated in the build. But you aren't likely to see another in 1/144th.

Superb Pterodactyl !
But, there would not a family resemblance with the Vautour ?

You know what they say David, "Every landings a good one", it may have only made one but I bet it was a good one. even if it wasn't I bet the pilot was pleased with it. A very nice model, built the hard way.
