1/72 Amiot 'Arras'

[Brian da Basher]

Here's another of my 1930's style whifs. This is the 1/72 Amiot 'Arras' in Spanish Civil War Republican markings. The wings are from the venerable Glencoe Martin MB-1 and the fuse and tailfeathers are from the Williams' Bros. Douglas World Cruiser, slightly modified. the nose is from the Eastern Express HP 0/400 and the gun blisters are actually the tops off caps from mustard bottles! The cockpit canopy is another Squadron vac (Brewster Buffalo I think). The engine cowlings are from the Italieri JU-88 and the engine nacelles are clipped from 1/72 scale pontoons. The exhausts were cut from silver colored sprue and left in their natural state and the props were scratched using spinners from 1/144 spares. The tail stripes and red bands were hand painted and the whole model is brush painted. Gotta love those Spanish Republican markings! Easy to paint yourself if you can't spare any precious decals from your stash!
