The Caudron-Renault CR.714C.1 is a fighter with a unique history. It was designed as a lightweight airframe intended to meet the French Air Force's demand for a fast and maneuverable fighter. Unfortunately, the aircraft did not fulfill all the hopes of its French designers due to weak construction and insufficient engine power. Despite these shortcomings, the CR.714 was handed over to Polish pilots after the defeat in September 1939, and units such as Groupe de Chasse Polonaise "Warszawa" gained fame using it in combat over France in 1940. A few units also made their way to Finland. For modelers interested in the history of the Polish Air Force in the West, this kit offers a fascinating foundation for an accurate diorama.
