Title: Breguet 693A.2
Post by: draken35 on January 02, 2013, 07:13:37 PM: I'm building that kit in a group build on a French forum.

The kit from Azur is short run, but at first regard it seems very fine. I will begin the build during the forthcoming week-end... :-wave

Wings were sanded a first time; then Mr Surfacer 500 added where needed. Second sanding unavoidable of course...

Canopies are masked (masking day today...)

Post by: No.1 on February 16, 2013, 01:40:46 PM: Interesting approach in preparation, most instruction would recommend to cement most of this parts inside fuselage prior painting

Yes, but I always prefer to paint first. Painting is more fine and precise (for me, at last... ;) )

"Grayish Blue" if the notice is right...

Hi Draken35, :-salut

Greyish Blue is too evasive... The actaual ref. was "Midnight Blue". A good match for 1/72 scale is Humbrol 25.
See photo (D. 520)

Title: Re: Breguet 693A.2
Post by: No.1 on February 17, 2013, 09:10:54 PM: Great to have correct info ;) I know for Bleu de Nuit and Chamois (and there was also mentioned limited use of green if I could remember good) for the cockpit interior

Interior Green (for cockpit) was particular with American planes such as Curtiss H-75, Douglas DB-7, etc.
"Chamois" fot internal airframe not visible : interior of fuselage (apart from cockpit), interior of wings, bomb bays, wheel wells when not overpainted with undersurface color... This "Chamois" color has been used always after the war on MD Flamant, SO Vautour, MH Broussard...

Jicehem, thank you for the color of interior. This has bothered me for some time, having not seen the actual color "in the flesh" so-to-speak.
Title: Re: Breguet 693A.2
Post by: draken35 on February 25, 2013, 08:58:47 PM: My interior blue: 50% Gunze H15 + 50% Gunze H25. Of course, will be slightly modified with oil wash and weathering...

Title: Re: Breguet 693A.2
Post by: draken35 on March 19, 2013, 05:11:49 PM: Very bad news for the Bréguet...

First I continued to work on it: Pébéo gloss varnish, then oil wash; matt varnish; pastels; assembly of the parts.
Fitting in the fuselage was just a pitty. I had to remove matter...
Assembling the half fuselage together was another pitty. Putty would have been needed everywhere!!!

Finally I placed the canopy and... See photo 5, 6 & 7: again, bad fitting and impossible to correct that.

Sorry, but I cannot continue a kit with such a big default that you cannot correct. More than that, other problems were awaited with the engines (to be strongly cut!); some little parts; etc.

The kit will never be a "nice build" for me; and nice build to do, I have a lot on my stash!

I prefer to resign for this one, and go to other, better kits. I have no time to waiste on bad kits, and I'm too nervious actually to try to do my best on the bréguet...

The end... :-kr

Post by: Nico Braas on March 19, 2013, 10:17:29 PM: Looks like they have taken old Pegasus kits as shining example. Pegasus kits are also, at least most of them, pre-planned disasters where NOTHING really fits well!
