ANF Les Mureaux 113, 115 and 117
French recce aircraft of mid 1930s - still in use at outbreak of war tho' obselete - had the misfortune to be the first French aircraft shot down by the Germans.
Dombral of SOH asked me to model this aircraft about a year ago - I didn't do it at the time because detailed info was so scarce ( one rather poor 3-view and a few grainy photos ). One year on and that hadn't changed but I thought I'd give it a go anyway.
I think I have captured the shape but I claim no great accuracy. Similarly the 2D and vc panels are complete inventions as I had no info on them at all. Likewise the armament info was contradictory but settled on two sync. mgs on top of engine and two in rear cockpit. The position I have adopted for the wing bomb racks is also quite arbitrary.
So all in all a work more of imagination than fact
As usual I have given it one of my appalling paint jobs so feel free to re-do it.
There 's a Hispano Suiza sound file in Lawdog's stuff ( page 2) at SOH

98% Thanks to Baldy, with copy of profiles copied in wingspalette, copy of panel slightly upgraded, copy of ... So my 1% personal contribution is really limited, should you need gauges (copy of course...) please let me know.
