I have the impression that Péricles would like a certain model type, but what would that be?

Well, according to his saying I'm already halfway.
Here is

Nr 880 Gloster Gorcock (2nd prototype)

Up to the next model

Inded, there was a remarkable technology transfere towards Japan in those days:
Heinkel provided not only the first aircraft catapults for the IJN but also cooperated closely with Aichi. Heinkel provided a few designs which evolved into Japanese frontline planes evntually (HD 25/HD 26 -> Aichi Type 2 reconnaiscence floatplane, HD 56 -> Aichi E3A, He 50 -> Aichi D1A, not to forget the Val, which was also based upon a Heinkel design).

(And while we're at it: Heinkel also provided the catapults for the Soviet navy, and the HD 55 flying boat became the Soviet КР-1)

Then Mitsubishi licence built the Junkers K.37 (Ki-1) and developed it further into the Ki-2, and Kawasaki produced the Dornier Do N bomber (obviously a Wal on wheels) under the designation Ka-87. Surely there still are lots of more examples...

Bruno I have scale plans for many of thes designs

Today I finished the Gloster Grebe Mk II (in 4 liveries)
The test build went well. I don't have a camera at hand to show the result.
That will be for tomorrow (perhaps)

So I have available on my list

Nr 881 Gloster Grebe 29th Squadron
Nr 882 Gloster Grebe 19th Squadron
Nr 883 Gloster Grebe 56th Squadron
Nr 884 Gloster Grebe 32th Squadron

getting closer to the A1N/Gambet

Pablo

p.s. Any Germans (Junker W34, Do 11, 13 or 23) or Italians (SM.57 or 62) in the near future?

[scissorsandplanes]

Thanks Pablo.
I made it a quartet (or even quintet) today:

Nr 885 Gloster Gambet
Nr 886 Nakajima A1N2 (from the Kaga)

Here the usual pictures of the test build.
I think I'll make some recolors (mostly just the numbers ) of the A1N2 now.
