Ahoj

I made finally some progress in the painting of the BH.3 (after 2 years when I said that I build very slowly) the truth is that after a lot of incident I (I redid the paint 5 times)

I take some liberty with the paint scheme as with the color and chose to present a natural linen vertical plan.

I need to add the airscrew I did in wood and I've stuck up a windshield with a look like the one of a BH.5. (I't seem correct at least for one aircraft as presented in an old Osprey book about your air force)

Thanks for your kinds comments.

For the final step of the I would like to ask for your help please
I made a small woodplate for presenting the model, and I painted a pilot to add near the aircraft. I have a tittle for the scenery which is in french :"Le Novillero de Bohême" (Novillero is a word to tell a "young matador").
In english the translation is "The Novillero from Bohemia". Now I would like to write the tittle in czech .
Google translate the tittle for me from french to czech as "novillero české" is it correct ?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hallo Dric! Firstly: wery nice work Secondly: if novillero is toreador (fighting with young bulls) whole translation is in Czech: Český toreador or Český novillero

[Víťa Výmola]

It is a little bit confusing what novillero could be. It's a completely unknown word to me, so I did some googling and found that it could mean "a young bull". That directs me to the czech nickname "bejk" (bull colloquially) which czech pilots gave to the aircraft because of its erratic flight characteristics. Then the czech translation would be "český bejk" (czech bull) or "český bejček" (czech little bull).
OR It could mean someone who fights or tames bulls (here flights BH-3). Then the translation would be as Sobi suggested "český toreador" or "český novillero".

[Dric]

Thanks for your answers guys.

The Novillero is a young matador who haven't received the "alternative".
The alternative is a particular corrida where the oldest matador give to the young one (the novillero) his spade and his first bull. (I'm definitelly not a fan of corrida but I found these definitions on Wikipedia)
The young bull is a Novillo (not far from Novillero Arcoss)
So the idea is to talk about the pilot -> Novillero as he need to fight with the "bull" BH3.

I think in my case that "Český novillero" is more adapted.

I will post picture of the display asap.

Thanks to all.

Great model!!! I'm sure that it will get some awards.
Only the czech title is not correct. It should not be "české novillero", but "český novillero".

[Dric]

Ouups ! I'm even not able to copy correctly

will try to change... thanks Arccos

Congratulation, it is a beautiful kit.

Great model!!! I'm sure that it will get some awards.
Only the czech title is not correct. It should not be "české novillero", but "český novillero".

I think, that correct is "československý novillero" (Czechoslovak novillero).
