FR0X04 Potez 25 Europe & America
Description :
Roundels, badges, codes used on some Potez 25. Roundels are not provided in the sheet when they already are in the original box, in order to give more codes and badges. Users will have to take some care when cutting the decals, we are sticking as much decals as possible in the sheet (A5) - which means we let as few space for varnish and space between decals as possible.
Decals (1/72 nd):
- Aéropostale: three aircraft out of the four F-AJDX, F-AJDY, F-AJDZ, F-AJZS. F-AJDX was the first Potez 25 to go through the Andes (Mermoz, Daurat), F-AJDY second Potez 25 in service for Aéropostale, F-AJDZ is the most famous of all, the plane was lost in the Andes, the pilot, Guillaumet, managed to come back to safety after 6 days, walking night and day, F-AJZS an other Aéropostale Potez 25.
