About product

RS Models 1:72 D-3801 (Swiss fighter)

A kit of the Swiss D-3801 fighter in 1:72 scale from RS Models. It is an injection-molded plastic model in short-run form with engraved panel lines and additional resin parts. The model is meant for more advanced modelers who are used to kits with finer moldings and a lesser degree of part location.

The real subject

The D-3801 was a Swiss fighter derived from the French Morane-Saulnier M.S.406, or more precisely from the M.S.412 development branch. Switzerland built it under license and in its own works as well, with a more powerful Hispano-Suiza engine and a modified structure. The machine flew at the start of the 1940s and lasted in Swiss service for a number of years after the war, which made it one of the best-known domestic types of its era.

Building and painting tips

As with short-run kits, reckon on more careful clean-up of the parts and on dry fitting where needed. Wash the resin parts, separate them from the casting blocks and glue with cyanoacrylate glue; glue the plastic parts with cement for plastic. Finish the cockpit before the fuselage is closed. An airbrush, a gloss coat under the decals and a final matte coat to unify the finish suit the Swiss camouflage.

Who the model is for

  • More experienced modelers with a background in short-run kits
  • Anyone interested in the Swiss Air Force and Morane-Saulnier subjects
  • Collectors of less usual types in 1:72 scale
  • Modelers who enjoy combining plastic and resin

The model is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Glue, paints and accessories are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
