Game Nr 5

We will launch a new AZUR-FRROM project (release Q2 2025 hopefully). The goal of the game is to guess what will be this project (kit of an aircraft, in injected plastic). To win, you will have to indicate in our CONTACT page:

  • the aircraft designer (= manufacturer)
  • the aircraft exact type (and/or usual name, if used)

  • the kit scale

We will give every day additional information on the plane or the kits (three clues each day, with a bonus on first day, so it might be quite fast), we will request the few people who have inside knowledge not to participate and not to give the information to their friends (staff from Special Hobby group are not allowed to participate).

Winners :

  • we will inform the winners after the game is over, and ship the kits when ready.
  • We have changed the Geos (please see below)
  • Have fun! This is a game, after all ...
  • the English page was uploaded before the French, but it did appear later on the site ... don't know why. We will again suppress some pages in Archives, hoping it will help (apparently - not enough)

You may for sure save your answer for one day and use it at end of the day,  between 18:00 and 18:30, but you should not have used it on that same "play day". The informations provided are true (but maybe misleading sometimes - the goal of the the game is NOT to have everybody winning on day one !)
