Azur FRROM – 0053 – Potez 25 Renault 12 Kg

Description:

Unassembled plastic model kit in 1/72 scale of a French biplane aircraft Potez 25, a successful multi-purpose design introduced in 1925 and widely produced and exported in around 4000 units and operated by more than 20 different countries.

Several different engines were either tested or used as production models during the life of the design. The Renault 12Jb was used in the Potez 25.5 and Potez 25.44 with over 170 units produced between both variants.

AZUR updates their Potez 25 kit tooled in 2019 with new parts to accommodate the new engine and a new decal sheet including three French markings.

• Nr 1381, Cercle Aérien Régional de Clermont-Ferrand, from October 1933 to December 1936
• Nr 2285, coded 44 black on white tail, probably Versailles, 6 ème Escadrille, École de l’Air, 1937
• Nr 851, White 8, Training Unit, Bourget-Dugny

Brand aware: Landing gear of Nr2285 (Camo B) is a Messier (parts C57 and C58 on sprue), not a Potez (parts C44 and C45 on sprue), as for the two other aircraft. Instructions should be changed on this point (as well as they appear wrong in the markings profile picture).
