What if the Spanish Reblublic chose to copy the Bellanca 77-140 bomber and change some details to easy manufacturing.

I must say, this looks very, very French....

That's because it's a cut and shut job with a Bloch MB210 and wing of a Bloch 200. All ribbed on the outside.
Engine are from a Blenheim

...for our pleasure?
I had problems understanding till I checked, asking Google Bellanca 77-140, and I got the link:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bellanca_77-140
All right, this weird shape of wing is not whifly invented but simply rare, then to build it you used kits of French old aircraft, in a scratchbuilt process.
Congratulations! :thumbsup:
Lovely job. Can't wait to see the colour scheme.
Quick update on the Bombardeo...PSR is almost finished and the mayor parts are assembled.

Last update on this project. I was in a hurry to finish this project for the ESM 2022 show, so no pictures during the sanding or painting phase.
Just before the show I took some pictures:

Fuselage is a shortened 1/72 Heller Bloch 210, upper wing from a Smer Bloch 200, engines from a Airfix Blenheim and lower wing made from 1/144 Revell Spaceship two wing. The spatted wheels are made from a Heller Amiot 143 undercarriage.
Colors are the Spanish Republican Airforce during the Spanish civil war in late 30-ies.
Hope you like it.

Bueno. :thumbsup:
Love the flying conservatory look.
That's EXCELLENT! It exudes 'Frenchness' from every rivet. ;D :thumbsup:
LOVE the Bellanca style wing struts, they make it very different.
Yep, I like it! ;D
Fantastic! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Ugly as sin...perfectly French...awesome dude :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Looks as ugly as the real French aircraft of the period.
TomZ
It certainly looks the part - excellent build :thumbsup:
I have just discovered this topic. Fascinating build, really renders the look of a thirties aircraft.
