Potent Pedro Vichy Bloch 152

I already have two Bloch 152 in the collection so I thought I needed to do something different, I painted up this aircraft as an Vichy Armee de l’Air Bloch 152.

I'm liking that one Matt, colourful kite! Can recall seeing a real one flying at a Duxford air show recently.

Harry/BlueWillow, any idea where the Duxford Bloch came from?  There isn't one based there so it must have been a "visitor". They have a flying Hawk 75 painted in Armee de l'Air Hawk 1940 colours so I'm intrigued as to the origin of a flying Bloch 152.  I have some but in 1/300!

Thinking about it, it probably was the Hawk!

That’s nice mate, is it a 1/72 model?

Harry, is this what you saw? Duxford's Hawk 75 in L'Armee de l'Air colours. Photo taken this morning.

That's the one! On a fizzer, for mi' bad aircraft recognition!

Harry, at the risk of offending the purists I think one 1939/40 radial engine fighter with retractable undercarriage looks much like another when flying in an airshow. My interest was piqued by your comment as I volunteer at IWM Duxford and had never seen or heard of a Bloch-152 being there.
