The main problem is the Prestone radiator (retractable cooler). On the ground, this radiator is in down position and the kit give it in up position.
 
Neat choice. Kinda looks like a flying muskrat.

Whatever happened to the Hobbycraft kit? I'll say the one you've got looks better.
 
My very limited knowledge on this subject suggests the Finns operated approximately 76 Morane, of which 11 were MS 410s with fixed radiator, and 3 were converted to the LAGG-Morane configuration also with a fixed radiator. The rest were standard ex-French types.

Most of the images ive seen of Moranes operating in the cold winter conditions are with the radiator in the up position, But in the Summer its the other way round.

Dunno if this helps at all...
 
Hello,
Michael, Geo, thank you for your help. Wojtek, yes, it's my project. Here is the same aircraft during July 1941.

I think to build it at this time (late in July), therefore without yellow nose. I have to put less victory on the tail, may be 6 or most probably 7 (like on your photo Wojtek).
I started by reducing the diameter of the wheel wells which was too big


I had built this model there are 10 or 12 years ago. It was the Classic Airframes model kit with home made decals. Not very happy of my work, I sold it...
 
My pleasure Stephane. Undoubtedly these two first images I found, show the plane without the yellow quick ID markings. Also the number of the victory markings is different from the one seen in the "winter" shot.
