JWM Posted January 3, 2017 Posted January 3, 2017 Great news! - so it is version Gamma 2e . The 2a/b are in Williams Brothers. Once I needed all Northrops so badly, taht made a scratch work to get Gamma 2d and Gamma 2e as well as Delta - basing Williams Gamma 2a... By the way - there is still left Gamma 5 - an intermediate model between early gammas and Northrop A 17 Nomad. Gamma 5 is also interesting due to use in Spanish Republican colours. Cheers J-W

Homebee Posted April 1, 2017 Posted April 1, 2017 (edited) Wings sprue. Release expected in late April. Source: http://www.frrom.com/ Quote Following the Delta, we will release the Gamma, in version 2E (Gamma Bomber), as employed by the Chinese. One of the camouflage schemes, chosen for the boxart, gives a plane used by french pilot William Labussière in China (but you will not get the version used by the Spanish Republicans, that was a slightly different plane). Expected release date: end of April 2017 V.P. Edited April 1, 2017 by Homebee 1

Colin1967 Posted May 15, 2017 Posted May 15, 2017 I for one am very happy about this future release from Azur Frrom and will order it from the big H when available, the Chinese version anyway.. I agree with J-W, would love a 1/72 Curtiss A-12 Shrike IM kit from rather than a resin one, in Chinese colours too, can we persuade you guys at Azur Frrom to produce one ? 2

Colin1967 Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Received mine on Friday 07/07. Have to say it looks really good and I will be building it up next. Please may we have a Curtiss A-12 Shrike in injected molded plastic and Chinese colors ? 2
Dave Fleming Posted July 9, 2017 Posted July 9, 2017 Who is selling them? Couldn't find them when I looked

Dave Fleming Posted July 10, 2017 Posted July 10, 2017 Ta, I was searching for Northrop, but that's not in the name. Darn those pesky TradeMark Lawyers 1

Source: http://www.frrom.com/index.php?page=Accueil Quote Gamma Bomber in Spain : nous allons produire cette maquette au 1/72 ème, en injecté.

Maquette probablement commercialisée uniquement en direct, sur notre site, avec la maquette FR0034. Série très limitée (250 pièces). Sortie en même temps que le SPAD 510 ... sous deux mois V.P. 1
JWM Posted April 15, 2022 Posted April 15, 2022 Interesting! In Spain there were two different Gammas: the 2d and 5e 2d http://img.wp.scn.ru/camms/ar/1060/pics/75_2_b1.jpg 5e http://img.wp.scn.ru/camms/ar/1060/pics/75_1.jpg I rather expect that it will be 5e... Regards J-W
