1/72 -Northrop GAMMA by FRROM-Azur and Special Hobby

Great news! - so it is version Gamma 2e . The 2a/b are in Williams Brothers. Once I needed all Northrops so badly, taht made a scratch work to get Gamma 2d and Gamma 2e as well as Delta - basing Williams Gamma 2a...

 

By the way - there is still left Gamma 5 - an intermediate model between early gammas and Northrop A 17 Nomad. Gamma  5 is also interesting due to use in Spanish Republican colours. 

Cheers

  • Following the Delta, we will release the Gamma, in version 2E (Gamma Bomber), as employed by the Chinese. One of the camouflage schemes, chosen for the boxart, gives a plane used by french pilot William Labussière in China (but you will not get the version used by the Spanish Republicans, that was a slightly different plane). Expected release date:  end of April 2017

I for one am very happy about this future release from Azur Frrom and will order it from the big H when available, the Chinese version anyway.. 

I agree with J-W, would love a 1/72 Curtiss A-12 Shrike IM kit from rather than a resin one, in Chinese colours too, can we persuade you guys at Azur Frrom to produce one ?

Who is selling them? Couldn't find them when I looked

Got mine from Hannant's, via their future releases page, where you can advance order kits before to ensure you get what kits you want., hope that helps.

Gamma Bomber in Spain : nous allons produire cette maquette au 1/72 ème, en injecté. En fait il s'agit d'une grappe supplémentaire destinée à remplacer les piéces correspondantes de la maquette FR0034 "Gamma Bomber in China" (fuselage, stabilos, capot, canopée en vacu et matricule républicain). Maquette probablement commercialisée uniquement en direct, sur notre site, avec la maquette FR0034. Série très limitée (250 pièces). Sortie en même temps que le SPAD 510 ... sous deux mois
