Trenton guy Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Model Art did a very nice resin one. Very hard to come by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wez Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 I'd like one, I'd also like some decals for a French post-war MS.500 Criquet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 This would be welcome, I'd have one in a heart beat, a really cool aeroplane. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny how people perceive things differently. Like I said, I'd have one but having just done a search on MrGoogle's Images I'd also have to do an Aeronavale one so make that two! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Army_Air_Force Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 (edited) I've been asked to quote for a model of one or two for a friend. If he wants to go ahead, I'd be making a master and taking a silicone mould to cast them. It may not be highly detailed ( not much planning gone into it yet ), and probably wouldn't be designed to accomodate an interior as that wouldn't be seen in the framed presentation he wants, but I'll let you all know if it happens. This is my reference aircraft. Edited January 3, 2018 by Army_Air_Force 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) Ah ha!! I’d go for a couple of those for sure. Keep me updated please thanks a lot, Martin Edited January 4, 2018 by RidgeRunner 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Army_Air_Force Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 (edited) This is the rough break down that I'm planning. Edited February 18, 2018 by Army_Air_Force 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted January 4, 2018 Author Share Posted January 4, 2018 Thanks AAF. At that level of detail - or more - i am interested. Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Army_Air_Force Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 I got the chance of a flight in 'Bruce' last year, which is why I'm interested in this aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin Hi Martin, I would wish for one to, especially if injection molded and in 1/72. Let's hope we see one soon. Regards Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Stephen, I take it this would be in resin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Army_Air_Force Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 Yes, resin cast. Once I get going, I'll start a thread showing the masters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevehnz Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I too would rather have injected kit of the Broussard but also think a resin bird in the hand is better than two injected birds in the bush, so I would almost certainly buy your resin one depending on cost & post etc. Steve.

Army_Air_Force Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I've got a couple of other projects to get out of the way first, one being a present for mid February, but I'll let everyone know once I make a start. I'll post up some pictures of the masters and see what everyone's thoughts are before I start any moulding. It's not a massive aircraft so the parts should fit a fairly small box for shipping. I don't have the facilities for printing high quality decals so you'll have to source ypur own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure as far as decals go, I've a Model Art sheet with a/some Broussard scheme(s) on it. I've been dreaming one of these for yonks.

I've been after one for ages, and was prepared for injection, vac or resin...whatever it takes really! So I would like to buy one too when it happens. Just need a Fiat G.46 to finish the collection!

fightersweep Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Army_Air_Forces; I forgot to ask in all the excitement! The Broussard you flew in (not jealous....ok...I'm lying!) Is that the aircraft that used to belong to Graham Warner? Best regards; Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Army_Air_Force Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 (edited) It's the Real Aeroplane Company aircraft based at Breighton Aerodrome near Selby, North yorks. They've had it two or three years I think, but not sure who owned it before. Here's a few more pics of the aircraft.
