Elias KorompilisThank you all!
@Thomas, yes photo etched wheels are included in the kit, as well as the wire fittings.
Yiannis ChatzianagnostouΤέλειο. Το έχω στη σειρά για να το αρχίσω και τώρα που το είδα στο album σου τόσο όμορφα φτιαγμένο νομίζω πως φοβάμαι να το ξεκινήσω.
Elias KorompilisEίναι πολύ καλό κιτ. Καλή μελέτη στις οδηγίες χρειάζεται γιατί είναι κάπως μπερδεμένες, προσεκτικές κινήσεις στην κατασκευή και θα γίνει πολύ καλό.
Neil PatrickJust lovely. And appreciate your description of the kit, because its not one I'd ever consider buying. But seeing this is inspirational and changes my mind. 🙂
Album info
The Potez 25 was a very important type of the interwar period, serving with the air forces of many nations. Although when WWII started the Potez was way obsolete, it performed several unescorted reconnaissance and bombing missions with the Royal Hellenic Air Force during the initial phase of the 1940 Greco-Italian war.
Efforts from various vacform and resin kit manufacturers over the years for this obscure subject were difficult to built and most had serious accuracy problems. When the Azur/Frrom injection kit was released it was a very pleasant surprise. Precision, accuracy and mold engineering is top notch.
Representing all various engine/configuration/equipment versions of the Potez 25 from a single mold makes it a complex kit to built. Requires careful study of the instructions and the real subject, but the final result will be rewarding.
Greek Potez 25's were equipped with the FN Browning mg for the gunner/observer. The 1/72 FN Browning used is an extreme detail replica 3D printed by Grand models, this is the only add-on used, all the rest is OOB
