    Default Official Bloch MB.152 Painting Thread

    A pair of Bloch MB.152s from Creations Chaubet. They're 1/144 scale and all metal. I've got a quartet of 1/200 scale MB.152s being printed at Shapeways.

    More great offerings. It's just a pity more of these aren't in 1:200 scale.

    Digging in the unofficial stats files as well in the forum but I cannot find the stats for the Bloch 152.
    Some advice? What do you use in your games?

    From the speed (313-316mph), and the descriptions of it's performance vs. Bf-109Es, I would go with the D deck.
    Guns are A/B for the 151 or C-C-A/C for the 152

    For last Prague Con, I' ve prepared some French planes.
    Here is Bloch 152. Shapeways mini, home made decals.
    I must say, that thanks to the time I spent working on this, I fell in love with the shape of this airplane.

    2x Bloch MB.152, liveries based on the 4 Esc. GC II/I, based at Lyon, May 14th 1940

    I hope you like them !
    (I must confess that seeing them "on the big screen" makes them looking not as nice as when looking at them in 1/200 scale )
    Oh well,
    cheers,
    Guus

    Thanks Chris. The heat was on. I submitted a game back in February for Huzzah this coming weekend in Maine. Cut it a bit close but they are done. There are 3 more Shapeways but I thought photos of these 3 were enough.
