Potez 633 B2

[+LloydNB 212]

A while ago I started skinning Veltro's Potez-630 C3 as the bomber variant - the Potez-633 B2. The first skin will be for the Royal Hellenic Air Force, but others will follow.

 

So far the changes include removing the navigator, altering the loadout and squeezing 8 50-kg bombs into the bomb-bay, and changing the armament to 7.5mm machine-guns. I have still to work out how to fake a partially glazed nose and cover some mapping issues.

 

As I understand it, if an area of a model has not been mapped for the skin then you can't put a tga file over the area. Is that correct?

 

Does anyone know how many 7.5mm rounds were carried for the forward facing and rear facing guns?

Thanks to Veltro's changes to the model, I'm almost finished.

[+LloydNB 212]

Of course!!!

The answer to the engines is DECALS!!! One step further.

Now the 633 is out I'll do a French and a Romanian skin for it. Active service in the Battle of France was quite short (two sorties) but the 633 was used by the Romanians until at least Stalingrad.

 

With the ground work completed there will probably be a few 630/631 skins to follow. France, Yugoslavia and Switzerland.

 

If someone wants to take on a small project and make a photo recon cupola that can be attached over the bomb bay area. This could be used to turn a 633 into a 637.

Some of the Romanian 633s had nosearts.

Thanks Minefield

 

I'm collecting what I can find. If you have any good sources, they would be appreciated.
