JWM Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) On Polish "Allegro" web site which is a local e-buy portal currently there are three Breguets XIX in 1/72 for sale: two extra rare Hit-Kit injected shortruns and one resin kit by Omega. I do not remember any Breguet XIX to be offered since years... It might suggest, that some company works currently on preparing modern injected kit of Breguet XIX and modellers who know it run out from stash old kits counting on getting good price, which later will be not achievable. In similar circumstances I've bought Savoia SM 55 X by Delta2 and very soon afterwards it appeared, that Dora works on SM 55 ... So maybe there is a hope for decent Breguet XIX soon?

KRK4m Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 BTW does anybody remember what were the last Armee de l'Air units operating the Bre XIX up to 1938 ? Syria/Lebanon? Morocco? Chad? Djibouti? Cheers Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like a V-engine machine, I have to check, but I think it is Renault engine, not Hispano-Suiza nor W-type Lorrain. the French style was that "B-2" means "bomber, crew of two", "A2" means "recce machine, crew of two" (and this is general military style, therfore Douglas DB-7 is in French DB-7B3). So the morphology of A2 and B2 can be the same, difference is in equipment defined by purpose... Regards J-W Lorrain W-type Hispano-Suiza V-type There was a lot of different engines https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bréguet_19 Regards J-W 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
