The marque's richest sheet for the reconnaissance Potez 63-11: eight machines in the service of four different air forces. Masks for the glazing are in the package as well.
Responsibility details are not available.
The French twin-engine reconnaissance machine with a glazed nose was among the most numerous aircraft of its country in 1940. After the armistice a row of further users took it over, and it is precisely this varied wartime and postwar career that makes the type a rewarding subject. Eight forms offered on a single sheet is an unusually generous portion.
Three machines belong to a French fighter squadron operating in 1940 and 1941 from Haifa and from Ismailia, that is from the Middle East and Egypt. A further aircraft carries German markings, a pair falls to the Royal Romanian Air Force of 1942 and the last two variants belong to Hungarian machines from an aeronautical research institute, which wore German national insignia at the same time. These are therefore eight distinctly different schemes, not eight variations on the same finish.
Masks for the glazed areas are enclosed with the sheet, prepared for the manufacturer by a specialized Polish supplier. With a type with such an extensive glazed nose that is substantial help, because masking the frames by hand takes more time than all the rest of preparing the finish.
Eight variants mean eight different camouflage palettes. Before building it pays to look the chosen form up in the illustrated instructions first and to mix the paints only according to it, because the French, Romanian and German schemes diverge markedly in shades as well as in the layout of the blotches, and a mix-up is immediately apparent on a finished model.
