Hi, Yesterday evening I finished her. This is Potez 29 - small airliner, transport, ambulane and liason development of Potez XXV. In real thing it has common with XXV whole lower wings and upper ones except the center part, which was incorpoated with fuselage and wider, as fuselage also was. I di it similar - I used wings of Broplan Potez XXV (vacu) and buid our of scratch everything else includeing central part of top wing. The build was reported in thread The painting scheme was on side profile - but since the wings has no dihedral on side profiles you cannot see any detail. So it my reconstruction how it might be based on some photos. I explained my decisissions and motivations in WIP threat . Comments welcome Regards Jerzy-Wojtek- 17 replies

Hi It is like that that Potez XXV and Breguet 19 are in a way coupled machines. From begining they were competiting and still if you think on one of them you immediately have to think on the second one. Since I am just about to finish construction of TWO Breguets out of a SINGLE Hit-kit kit I started to construct Potez XXV family. In my stash I have three of them: 1. Hit Kit Potez 25 TOE 2. Hit Kit Potez 25 Jupiter 3. Broplan Potez 25 A2 (Lorrain engine) However, I think that doing three Potez XXV could be a bit too much. Therfore I decided to to do: 1. Vichy from Indochina - P. XXV TOE (almost OOB if this term can be used in case of Hit-kit kit) 2. Spanish Republican P. XXV Jupiter - ex-Estonian (as above, however this paointing scheme is not included in box) 3. Scratch conversion to Potez 29 made with use of wings and some more parts from Broplan 25 A2. Here the painting scheme is from Marocco, 1943, but I have two others schemes in some French journal or booklet. Not decided yet which exactly I will do. There is a resin kit of this machine by Lift Here, but why not play with scratch a bit? The fuselage is winder and therfore the wingspand rised from 14.15m to 14.60m (in other sources 14.50 m) Therefore I have to cut the wing. The whole central part will be re-worked anyway... So As you see I started like playing 3NT in bridge. From the most difficult colour... Cheers J-W

Dear All, I am constructing now Potez 29 in FAFL colours from Africa (Chad). Some of Potez 29 were wearing red crosses on the fuselage. What markings could be there on wings? I have some photos and profiles, but unfortunately nothing can be guess about the wings. Before war only red crosses were in six positions on such ambulance. Since on fuselage Lorrine crosses were added I expect also those blue crosses on wings from top and bottom, inside the red ones. Or it was differently? - French roundles and Lorraine crosses. Perhaps markings on other FAFL amulance could be helpful. Any French expert comment will be very apprecieted... Regards J-W.
