My Scissors and Planes Collection in 1/100 - Take 2

[gomidefilho]

Well friends today I hope to finish this new trio of sesquiplans, we started the general construction of the three planes...

Note: The NiD-52 is literally a parasol...











Continuation soon...

The next planes in Biplane mood...

[wireandpaper]

Very nice, looking forward to your constructions.

I noticed the wings of the Yugoslavian are quite different than the other Breguets 19.
Also I am not familiar with the lozange/tiled camo from the Polish plane. I guess this is the grandpa of the pixelated camouflage used today!
Any information?

ps: the question is for all of you pro and amateur historians.

Thank you very much!

Regarding the Breguet XIX:

Polish camouflage is experimental, only one plane was painted with it. Like other experiments in the 1930s and 1940s, they sought to distort the silhouette of the plane in flight and on the ground, such as Barclay's experiments with splinters on US Navy planes. Like most French airplanes of the period, the Breguet 19 could be adapted with many engines between radial and in-line, the Ikarus factory was allowed to build this plane and made a series of adaptations to use the American Wasp engine and tripod propeller, this involved a series of reinforcements and changes to the wing design. With the fall of Yuguslavia, the Germans passed several Breguet 19 to Croatia who used them against Tito's Partisans. (Target for future construction)

Of note is that Yugoslav Breguets were some of the very last biplanes used in battle during ww2.They were flown by Croat pilots and by Tito pilots.I'm not sure if they were used after war.

Coincidentally Croat Fi-167 biplane was one of the last ( if not The Last) biplane to shoot down opposing warplane. Croats flew a lot of leftover and unwanted planes.

As for Breguets up there I hope Polish Breguet has Loriane W type engine modification.I don't think Bruno did one of those.There was a lot of camo experiments going on in all air forces at that time.In the end polish ministry decided to go with overall factory French olive green.That paint stayed on Breguets until their retirement from service. Some of them ended up in Spain but they were in such a poor condition they hardly flew.There was a pretty big scandal involving that and few other sales to Spain by SEPEWE company.

That looks sooo... cool and detailed

[Don Boose]

That's quite an air flotilla under construction.

You are extraordinarily productive, both in quality and quantity.

Indeed Karol, Croatia air force in WWII is a miscelaneuos of "esoteric" outdate 1930's and early WW2 planes at the time send by Germans.

About Breguet 19 with Lorraine Engine I think Bruno not make, I remenber only with Hispano Suiza 12, but I think is not hard make a mod. I study for future conversions or repaints. I promisse.

Thanks Don! In part is a result of Pandemic and sucessive lockdowns.
