¹⁄72

FRROM have revealed revealed a new 1:72 kit to coincide with the Telford show this coming weekend - the Breguet 1050 Alizé. The Alizé will be available in four versions and is in the final stages of development, with the release planned for the New Year.

The Breguet 1050 Alizé carrier-based Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) aircraft was derived from the Breguet 960 Vultur, an unsuccessful attack aircraft design that was limited to only three prototypes. The Alizé prototype first flew on October 5, 1956. This was followed by a trials period that included catapult and landing tests at the Royal Aircraft Establishment in Bedford, England. Three prototypes and two pre-production machines were built, with the first delivery of a production machine to the French Navy being made on November 15, 1957.

Each kit will contain markings for three colour schemes:
