Morane-Saulnier MS-406C1 –the French fighter

“Morane-Saulnier” MS.406 - French metal construction single-engine low-wing monoplane - fighter with classic tail surfaces. The first flight of the prototype took place in 1935 July 8, and series production began in 1938. The combination of a good engine (860 y. p. “Hispano Suiza” 12Y31) and good aerodynamics has led to the success of the fighter, which can develop above 450 km / h. The serial version was called MS-406C1. The machine has proven to be in demand in international markets: Poland, Lithuania, China, Turkey and Yugoslavia, among others, have expressed interest in it. After the French capitulation in 1940 in June, Germany sold the MS406 to Croatia (48 aircraft) and Finland (37 aircraft). The MS406 fought mainly in the French campaign and later served in the Vichy and Free French forces. Lithuania had also ordered 13 units of this type of aircraft, but never received them - due to technical reasons and delays in fulfilling the order - although the aircraft had already been manufactured and painted with the Lithuanian Air Force marking and camouflage.

The model is designed for beginners and inexperienced modelers, so it includes a number of simplifications and assembling options, that facilitate the assembly process. From the publication it is possible to glue the fighter MS-406C1, which was used by Czechoslovak pilots as part of the French AF during the 1940 French company. Instruction in Polish and Czech.
