Caudron-Renault CR.714 Cyclone is a light fighter aircraft developed by France at the end of the 1930s. The machine entered service just before the outbreak of World War II and was used mainly by the French Air Force as well as by Polish pilots, equipping the famous “Warsaw Squadron” during the French campaign in 1940. The CR.714 Cyclone was designed as a fast and agile fighter, but proved too fragile on the battlefield under actual combat conditions. Nevertheless, the design is regarded as an engineering curiosity and became a symbol of the dedication of Polish pilots in France during World War II.

The included scales (1/32, 1/48, 1/72) and eight different fuselage variants make this publication an extremely valuable resource for modelers building CR.714 replicas in various techniques and scales. The plans are precisely drawn, based on archival documents and contemporary historical knowledge. Thanks to this, you can make a detailed reproduction of the aircraft true to the original or carry out advanced model conversions.
