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

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

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!

Lovely job. Can't wait to see the colour scheme.

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.
