The Potez 25 TOE was one of the most recognizable biplanes of the interwar period. It served as a reconnaissance, bomber, transport, and battlefield support aircraft. It became especially popular during operations in French colonies, where it was operated in challenging desert and mountainous climates. Its distinctive silhouette, reliability, and versatility earned the respect of pilots and commanders alike. It participated in numerous colonial conflicts and the war in Ethiopia (Second Italo-Ethiopian War 1935-1936). Its rich history makes the Potez 25 model attractive both to aviation historians and hobbyists.

The Special Hobby 72407 model stands out thanks to its detailed airframe reproduction, highly accurate features, such as undercarriage and cockpit elements, and the included decals allow you to build an authentic French version used in various theatres of operations.

We recommend this model: to intermediate and advanced modelers (difficulty level 3/5) due to the delicate parts and the complex biplane structure. It's an excellent choice to expand any 1/72 scale collection of aircraft of France and its former colonies.
