Since there's no 1/48th scale Brequet 19,and probably never will be available, is ther anyone with an idea which model(s) I could use as a base for a conversion? Thanks very much for any help! |

This is a great resource of WWI models in various scales:
link It will take you some time to research through the various model makers, but you'll be surprise in what you find. I'm listed in here as well under, "Greg Padilla". My 1/72 scale planes are for "Bluemax". Some one had to build a Brequet XIX. Good luck! |

There's a Czech model of the Breguet XIX available in 1/72, in several versions. A-Model are the manufacturers IIRC. |

Hi I only do 1/72. And I have the czech model and the earlier vac(I prefer vac kits). I don't know of other versions. While the 19 is derived from the 14….I am not aware of a 14 in your scale either. In the day, I used 1/72 kits of the N.17 to make my own conversions of the, then not available, N.24 and 27, which is mostly using parts and sheet to round out the fuse. I suspect it would be fairly easy on the 19 as well. Rocky |

@RockyRusso Yes, I've got a few Breguet 14s in 1/48th scale (Aurora) which I use as Spanish and French during the Riff wars.
That rather streamlined 19 hull will probably prove too difficult for me, but thanks for the idea! |
