AZUAIR004 - Azur 1/72 Farman (SNCAC) NC 223.1 "Chef Pilote Laurent Guerrero" - WWHP113091

Preowned, Original seal, Mint

The Farman NC.223.1 was a large four-engine French monoplane derived from the earlier Farman F.220 series, redesignated NC.223 after Farman was absorbed into SNCAC. The first aircraft, F-APUZ "Chef Pilote Laurent Guerrero," flew as a long-range mail carrier, set a payload-distance record in 1937, and later served Air France on the South Atlantic route before being taken into French naval service. This is Azur's 2005 short-run injection kit, made in the Czech Republic, covering the prototype F-APUZ.
