    Brequet 19, any scale.

    It is known that "verified detailed drawings" do not exist. Possibly engineering/construction drawings may be found if you are brave enough to fight the laziness and bureaucracy of the Armee de l' air museum. The two surviving examples are special racer versions of the Breguet XIX, not useful to 3D scan but can be used to take some measurements. You need an aviation engineer/historian who can study/interpret construction drawings and measurements, then pass the info and survey the job of the 3D artist who will design the mold. Who can afford this? Tamiya maybe... At least Frrom are not so naive as Grand is...

    Also, Greek roundels blue is too light. a medium blue, something like FS15056 to FS15102 is more appropriate Check this:

    Very welcome additions I don't see any mention about the T-41 Mescalero which is a military version of the C-172. The C180/185 is not the mescalero.

    From another photo looks more like a fixed clear panel with the structure underneath visible.

    As for the Greek Battles: -Had the "clear" bomb aimer panel -used exclusively US bombs (made in Greece under license), field modified to fit the British bomb carrier -were equipped with FN38 browning machine guns -had the late style exhausts -

    "D1.3 Already done in injection in 1/72 nd more than 30 years ago" True-the Airfix kit "D2.1 Suffered heavy losses, when not properly employed" NOT true against Italy for the Br 19 I 'm almost sure its a Battle, most welcome

    OR Fairey Battle. Polish squadrons in the RAF had the red and white Polish checkers painted on

    -I believe the flap wells were also painted with the airframe aluminum colour. -All Greek T-6G's after 1960 appear to to have their L/G doors removed. best regards, Pameinos
  12. Pameinos
    This is a screenshot from a 1965 movie it appears (to me) that wheel wells are painted the same aluminum colour as the airframe

    The Spitfire wings had no provision for fuel tanks. These were actually US 75 galon drop tanks field modified to napalm incendiary bombs. Used against the communists during the 1946-1949 Greek civil war.

    The small fairing under the nose mounted the F.46 camera for recording torpedo drops.

    Received my parcel today, one kit + one overtree. Looks like an excellent kit ☺️

    Don't spray a thick wet coat but multiple very light coats ensuring that each coat is dry before the next one (they dry within seconds.) See this video:

    According to the USAAF propellers manual I have: Martin Baltimore all versions (R2600-13 and -29 engine) prop diameter: 12ft 1in, blade p/n: 23E50-473-635A-12, governor p/n: 4G8-G15G/23G exact match were props installed on OA-10 (USAAF version of the Catalina) and on RB-24A (recon version of the Liberator).

    Plans are not enough for accuracy unless they are accompanied by numbers: Dimensions of lg struts, wing chord, fuselage stations, control surfaces, airfoil type etc, like in Paul Matts drawings. Are this data available somewhere? Maybe in the maintenance or repair manuals?

    I tried this idea many years ago when none of all these modern weathering products were available. I live in Greece where sunshine conditions are very similar to California. The models did not melt but parts lost their alignment. (wing dihedral and landing gear of aircraft, canon of a tank). Colors (humbrol) faded after about 2 months, but decals were destroyed. I was not using varnishes these years, and i since most varnishes provide some UV protection perhaps a varnished model will not fade that fast.

    Don't use Klear. Keep it for the floors. Use a product made for scale modelling like Mr Color GX supper clear or alclad klear kote gloss. Wait at least 24 hours for the varnish to dry (or more if you live in a wet climate), and then apply the weathering medium.

    The Hs 123 is now available from GasPatch models: http://www.gaspatchmodels.com/henschel-hs-123/ Two versions:

    They should correct the Greek ones too. All roundels should be of the 1-2-3 type.

    Thanks for your answers. This is the Greek Anson I want to model in 1/72: NK603 was a MkI converted to ambulance with late type engine cowls and stabilizer wingtips. As it displays a red cross, the fuselage gun should have been removed. Question remains for the stretchers installation...

    I had the same experience with iSteve.
