Um, yep just had a look at the MB200 and you're not wrong! Did not know he changed his name, just presumed Bloch was one of those companies that went the way of so many others after World War Two.\ said:

Just caught up on this and she looks a fine aircraft indeed.
I'll be following this to its conclusion if that's ok Joe.
I've always fancied doing a French Aircraft but never have.
So far it's looking very nice even for a 1/72 size.

I've got a bit of leave from work at the moment so I'm back to the bench. No photos to show unfortunately, all I did today was strip paint. I had started the Aregntine scheme and then had a change of heart and it's now going to wear the two-grey French scheme.

NIce work mate. I haven't seen any suE s around on the forum for a long time. Funny original kit manufacturer, never heard of them
Ralph made the Academy kit recently:
Mine won't be as weathered or used looking, but I do like the French two-tone grey scheme on this aircraft. It looks more business-like than the perhaps smarter dark grey over white.
The original paint stripped, and the model re-primed. Light grey will be next. I have had to remove a few items (one snapped off) but it's all repairable.

Coming along well Joe.
Can't believe I started this in March! Anyway, progress in between the Saetta and Canberra. The lighter-grey colour was sprayed on yesterday and left overnight to dry.
And then a few hours of masking with tac and tape for the darker blue-grey secondary colour:
Here it is after spraying the darker blue-grey, alongside Macchi with the pox.
Hoping all has gone well, tomorrow I will remove the tac and masking and if all is good, reattach some missing parts and paint the smaller areas as required. I'm enjoying being back into the builds!

Nice to see the Camo coming along.
The macchi camo looks incredibly painstaking in masking for the spots. The result will undoubtedly be superb though

Masking removed, revealing the camouflage. It's subtle, perhaps more contrasting in natural light, and not quite as dark as I would have liked, but I'm having fun so will press on.
I then set about repairing all the damaged/missing aerial blades, the landing gear, gear doors, and put the under-wing stores on.
Painting of the nose area, aerials and exhaust to come.

The camo' might be subtle, but I like it. It's new to me, I haven't seen that before.
Nice work Joe, I'm sure the camo will show more when the gloss coat goes on.
