    It appears that the Germans used them too, at least when I googled images several German variants showed up. I made that model to give away to one of our captains that was running a Lutzow - since we annihilated the plane he had.

    downright civilized of you

    since asking the question i did some looking and found one instance of a loire- 130 getting repainted and tested by the luftwaffe, but nothing widespread.

    Still a fine looking little bit of work you've made there
