    **** DONE: 1/72 Amiot 143, 3rd Escadrille - Heavies Group Build

    My 2nd entry

    Category: 2
    Scale:1/72
    Manufacturer: Heller
    Model type : Amiot 143
    Details : Armee de l'Air, 3rd Escadrille of the 22nd Escadre de Bombardement

    Armed with 4 x 7.5mm machine guns and a total of 1,600 kg of bombs and had a top speed of 193 mph. With the invasion of the Low Countries on 10 May the Amiot 143's dropped a total of 153 tonnes of bombs in 197 night operations with a loss of only 4 aircraft. However switching to day light operations they were soon decimated by Luftwaffe fighters.

    I see you are staying true to your habit of "unusual" entries VB. Cool choice. I'm looking forward to your build.

    Oh, one of those funny looking French planes - great choice VB! They were also used in North Africa.

    Nice one mate! You must spend half your life searching for the most unusual, ugly aircraft to model! It's good though, and makes a pleasant change from the 'run of the mill' stuff normally displayed.

    Another great choice. You always seem to find the bazaar and unusual aircraft.

    Another great one there VB, love to see the unusal. Im suprised no one pulled out a B-29, Fw 200 or a Ju-86 out yet as all three would be unusual also for this group build.

    I actually had to decide between this one or the Ju 86. It was a close call.
