About product

The real subject

The Renard R.31 was a Belgian two-seat aircraft intended for reconnaissance and observation. It appeared at the start of the 1930s and you will recognize it by the wing carried on struts above the fuselage, the fixed landing gear and the open crew stations. It was a machine of domestic design that served with the Belgian air service until the end of the 1930s, making it one of the few aircraft of Belgian origin to see combat use.

What awaits the builder

The wing is held above the fuselage by a system of struts, which is the most demanding part of the whole build. It pays to assemble it dry, check the symmetry from the front and from above, and only then glue it. The open crew stations in turn draw attention to the inside of the fuselage, so time spent on the cockpit and the seats shows clearly on the finished model.

Building and painting tips

  • Glue the struts one at a time, not all at once, and let the model dry lying on its back.
  • Check the symmetry of the wing against a flat surface, not by eye.
  • Replace the control rods and rigging with fine thread; they stand out on a model in 1:48 scale.
  • Choose the finish and the markings according to documentation for the particular machine and period.
  • Finish the cockpit before you join the fuselage, because it is hard to get at afterwards.

Terms of supply

The kit is supplied unassembled and unpainted. Paints, glue and tools are not included in the package, unless stated otherwise.
