Potez 25 TOE Skinpack

[fde_bressy]

A discuss we had last February with Baldy about Yugoslavian Air Force Potez 25 led me to make some research about this venerable biplane.
I prepared a skinpack with 15 different repaints for 11 different air forces, out of which a good number saw combat during WW II.
The skinpack includes the following items:
French Air Force-Potez 25 A-2
Bien Hoa, French Indochina, 1938.

French Air force-Potez 25 TOE FAFL
Used for recco missions in Africa by Groupe Picardie

Chinese Airforce-Potez 25 A2B2
From a FS 2004 repaint found on the web

Estonian Air Force-Potez 25 A2
Estonian Air Force operated Potez 25 Jupiter up to 1940

The Original plane is in the Library, with both versions (radial and water-cooled engines) Most of my repaints are integrated elements from both Baldy and Dombral repaints. I attached a modified DP file and adjusted the original contact points and eyepoint. Good flights to all of you.

Francois,

I second UncleTgt's words, you did an outstanding job on these!

 

[fde_bressy]

Thanks to both of you for your comments, but most of the job was done by Baldt, who created the aircraft, and Dombral, from whom I stole the silver engine repaint.
For info, you can duplicate in the other repaints of the in-line versions of the original package a bpm named "bits1" and repaint it in silver, which will give colour to the gear legs.

You put a lot of work into the package regardless. Thank you.
