Hi, I am continuing reduction of French machines from the stash. It is the 11th in last year build of French-origin type. Breguet 273 was a light (tactical) bomber and observation machine, a development (export variant) of Breguet 27. Those machines besides France were used in China and in Venezuela. The only one survived, or rather the remains of it, are preserved in the Maracay Museum of Aviation (Venezuela). More about this exposition you can find here: http://swag-trip-logs.blogspot.com/2015/03/venezuela-museo-aeronautico-de-la.html, https://c2.staticflickr.com/8/7644/17018760981_d36e1deb4a_z.jpg Anyway, my model is of China one. Although the Azur kit has provision to do his model I have to change some details, since the existing photos show it differently then it is done in kit. On the photo of real thing: The grill behind prop is not moved backward as suggested in kit instruction, the additional cooler is moved forward and there is additional inlet of air below nose. There are also landing lamps below the wingtips of lower wing. The side air inlet (?) is suggested to be on starboard side, inn model it is on port. The pitch of prop is different, so I interpreted that maybe the above photo is a mirror reflection. This is a bit confirmed by the Venezuelian machine from museum, where the starboard side of engine is simply flat, without any bulged inlet on it. Anyway, those were my dilemmas on construction. of model... Here she is: And a set of my shelf with Chinese machines (including Soviet I-152 from Khalkhin Gol border war) from Second Sino-Japan War before start of WW2 in Far East (so years 1937-41) . Below is a shelf for Japan machines from this conflict (I know, too few of them but in stash there is not so small set waiting for their time) and above it is a shelf with French machines from Spanish Civil War (at least Dewoitine 27 is currently in stash designed to be there maybe soon)... That all so far about mine No1 from 2021! Coments welcome Regards Jerzy-Wojtek

Hi, I've read somwhere that few (4?) of Morane MS 225 were sold to China and were used there. I was digging in Net not successfuly. What I found was one model done in such markings (but with error in u/c mouting), but no reference photo or even profile scheme. Any help in this topic will be apprecieted. Even some more info about use of this type in China. As an alternate - any photo of MS 225 from France, but in 1940. Cheers J-W
