Well my friends.

Continuing our biplane mood, and still on the French subject of the 20s and 30s, we started our Breguet XIX. Three repaints I asked Brent to make (a Breguet 19B2 Spanish nationalist (with Renault engine), a Polish one with experimental camo (with Lorraine Dietrich engine) and a modernized Ikarus 19 with radial engine P&W Wasp in the colors of the Royal Yugoslav Air Force when I attached to these I took a XIX Breguet from Bruno's catalog (one of the Bolivians) to precisely test a conversion to the Lorraine Dietrich engine which is in "W", for this we made new fairings that protect the engine heads.







Bruno when he designed the Breguets only made them with a Renault or Radial engine (P&W, Gnome-Rhonet), but the truth is that like other French airplanes of the period he could be interchanged with several different engines, so in the future in my own Breguet XIX repaints or corrections I must include the new ones engines. The conversion was made for the Bolivian and will be made for the Polish that Brent repainted for me. Tonight I must continue working on the fuselage, of Spanish and Polish planes.



An interesting artifice that Brent created pair of open cockpits to simulate them as a "dark box" creating depth. He does this with cylinders and I tested the technique in Bolivian Breguet, I can say that it works with adjustments.



A lot of people ask me how I cover the white corners of the models, usually with acrylic paint or PVA, although I also use marker pens, oil pastels, colored pencils, it depends on the tone and the design. Here the separate colors for this project.

Updates soon.

Very interesting, looking forward to the building process.
The Breguets confronted the Poteces near you in El Chaco Boreal!

Thank you my friend!

Precisely the Bolivian Breguet 19 is one of those belligerents of the great Chaco conflict, one of my favorite "wars" here in Latin America.

Soon more updates.

Last night was a virtual meeting day for my model club, CCCP.

A lot of good talk and little model making, but I made two more fuselages of the Breguet 19, some adjustments are still missing.

Well friends!

After a while without activities here on the forum, we proceeded with the assembly of the Breguet XIX airframes. I added a fifth plane: A civilian Breguet XIX, one of two that were sent to Japan in 1924 for military evaluation and that were not adopted ended up serving propaganda purposes by flying an epic flight from Tokyo to London in 1925 (if I'm not mistaken) . The only significant change I made was to add a cardboard bar lower wing in addition to the conversions already reported.





















The Brent textures are stunning!
