Caudron C. 714

The petite Caudron was used by the French Air Force as well as the Finnish Air Force, and it was flown by Polish pilots in French service. This Heller kit was built almost a decade ago, and it was my first foray into detailing a cockpit from scratch. The results were decent, but for some reason the rather colorful French color scheme didn't apply to me, and the Caudron was painted as a Beuteflugzeug in German service. Other scratchbuilding included the pitot tube and the gun sight.
