This is a 1:144 scale model of a French Morane-Saulnier Type P (MoS.21) with a top-wing forward-firing Vickers gun and a rear Lewis gun on an Eteve mount . Since many painters choose their own mounting system, no peg is included on the plane. Pegs can be purchased separately in the Accessories section of this catalog.

The Morane-Saulnier Type L and LA were starting to get a bit old by autumn 1915, so a revamped version was brought out in the form of the Morane-Saulnier Type P. It retained the faired, round cross-section of the Type LA but improved the engine to 110hp. A synchronized Vickers was frequently mounted on the top wing and a flexible rear Lewis was used by the observer. The military designation was the MoS.21.

Its service with Aviation Militaire was fairly brief, and by autumn of 1917 they were largely replaced by an improved version, the MoS.26. The MoS.26 featured a strengthened fuselage, full cowl, and (on French planes) a synchronized Vickers gun.

The RFC ordered Type Ps starting in autumn 1916, many including a Lewis gun firing over the propeller. Due to a shortage of engines, 80hp Le Rhônes were frequently substituted. In all, 106 Type Ps were ordered for Britain, with a mix of MoS.21's and MoS.26's.

A handful were acquired by Russia, but they were not well-liked.
