Wez Posted January 2, 2014 Author Share Posted January 2, 2014 I could do a Canberra B(I)8! They used a couple of those for research. Yes, but... I thought they were B.2's (or 6)??? Trevor ...I thought likewise but then again there's lots of unexpected and wonderful stuff used by the French at their research centre - Meteor NF.11 for instance so nothing would surprise me. We just need one more to sign up and we've made the poll. Wez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rom1 Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Cripes! I haven't seen one of those Bleriot's in a mighty long time... ...35 years or more! Hi, This just a pic found on ebay... I won't build such a plane ^^ This GB will be good for me... it will be the occasion to empty my stash of French stuff Have you an idea when it could start? around the end of 2014? first months of 2015? Sincères salutations! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atom.uk Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 I thought they were B.2's (or 6)??? Trevor Herein lies a problem. I have 2 profiles showing B(I)8s in French service BUT one is identified as F-ZLAN ex WJ779. I looked it up and WJ779 was a B6. HELP........!

Atom.uk Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 See here...... http://www.bywat.co.uk/types02.html I'm assuming the picture is F-ZLAM? Trevor Thank you Trevor. If it turns out that there were no French B(I)8s I still have plenty of choices! Maybe Airfix will produce a new B2 / 6 in 1/72, or I could risk making a High Planes kit - I'm a bit nervous about that one (ordered by mistake from Ebay a couple of years ago).

Can I draw your attention to Canberra Kid's thread on converting Airfix's B(I).8 to a B.6 http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234950113-172-airfix-canberra-bi8-converted-to-b6-xh568/ Wez 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bengalensis Posted January 2, 2014 Share Posted January 2, 2014 Yes we are +30! I have a huge stash of French racing, rally, F1 and road cars, and even some trucks, so I thought that would be an easy choice. Or possibly one of the Caudron racing planes. But now I remember I have that Revell (ex Pyro) Eiffel Tower, it's even larger than the Heller kit... We'll see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
