Overview
The Morane Saulnier MS.406 was France’s first true modern fighter, in development for over 4 years, entering service in 1938. At that time, the 406 was a fairly advanced aircraft with retractable gear and enclosed cockpit. More impressively it’s armament included a 20mm cannon. Being the main fighter of France in 1940, the aircraft was very much outclassed by the 109s and Spitfires.
Levels of Detail
I want to boast, so let me, the classic French antenna is there, so is the signature retractable inlet. AG-7 for bailing out.

Thanks to Destroyerz117 for the wing rooting.
Bogan has recently provided me with a set of XML guns, this will help greatly for my future projects.

Hi! Absolutely love this plane, flies wonderfully. The bailout feature is hilarious. On a side note, I released a version of this I think you’ll like. If ya wouldn’t made checking it out.
Either way, i’m building for my own enjoyment of dogfight. @WarHawk95
@AnoniMosu for me too. But it should always be more
14 has been average for me. @WarHawk95
Pancelvonat’s AI planes and Weaverfish are what influenced my building style to begin with. @WarHawk95
What ? Only 14 upvotes ?
For me the most underrated build of the moment. Just as cool as @pancelvonat's "AI planes" but with far less upvotes.
ought to change there is no accurate MS406* @Destroyerz117
Very nice build, great subject, well-executed details!
@AnoniMosu I don't think theres anyway to change @BoganBoganTheMan being French
Yeah true
And I sought to change that. Also, Thanks @WarHawk95
Wow ! @BoganBoganTheMan and myself are french and I can tell you there's no better MS.406 than yours on this website !
