Potez 25 - various nose sections for Azur/Frrom release

Image
The 1/72 Potez 25 project progresses swiftly, now let us share with you the first test sprues with the various engine cowlings that will be available under the Azur/Frrom brand. These two versions are the standard Potez 25A2/B2 and the one fitted with the Hispano in-line engine. The former will be in kit no FR0037, the latter in FR0038 - this one with marking and decal options for a Greek military aircraft  and three machines which took part in the 1929 race of Poland and the Little Entente - two of them with Rumanian marking (machine 12R was in fact converted to a high wing monoplane) and one wearing Yugoslav marking.
