1:144 Breguet XIX plane preview
« on: November 30, 2016, 09:30:04 PM »

It's been a long time since our latest addition to our SCW aircraft range, a perhaps longer than wished lapse of time. However, now we've retaken the range placing on workbench a Breguet XIX, a two-seat biplane that was the Spanish Republic Air Forces standard bomber before the outburst of civil war, and was intensively used by both sides in the very first stages of that conflict.


Model itself will be quite easy to build --with no more than 8 parts besides of pilot and gunner. A few smaller parts will be white metal made, while the larger ones will be high quality resin.


We are planning to complement the model kit with a decals sheet that will include markings for both SCW sides, naturally --but we had also in mind to also add some early WWII markings. We're thinking of Greek and Polish ones; would you support this choice?

Cheers,
Lluís

That's a splendid addition - I am not collecting WWII in that scale, but I'd probably be interested in the Polish markings if I were.

Although it makes no difference beyond the SCW markings to me, I would have thought French markings would be an obvious choice, they were used in the colonies into the late '30s.

I look forwards to seeing the model come out though!  :)

Well, that's why I was asking  ;)
