B7 or B12?
« on: April 15, 2011, 05:59:28 pm »
Hi members. Check out this link. Is this really a B7 or did someone shorten a B12?

  First off...WELCOME to NT. To me that started off as a B12. Now it looks like it has the first round window section behind the door cut out of it. There are three 12", one 10", & a 6" windows on a regular B12. This one only has two 12" windows. 

  Here is a regular B12..

 Here is yours..

I'm thinking that I have seen something similar before.  If I recall, there was someone (Quebec area) that built a replica of a model of one that Armand Bombardier built for his son that was a 'one only' model.  If I ever run across it again, I'll post it.

   Dave... would one of these be the one you were thinking of ? The top pic looks something like it, & it is from Quebec.

  The bottom 2 pics show a reproduction of a B-5.

Gee, OT.  I should have known you would have those pics packed away somewhere. :)  They are the ones I was thinking of.  I guess it best described as a shortened b-12.

  Dave if you look under general discussion & look up NEW...BOMBERS FROM QUEBEC, REPLY # 8 & 9 you will see a little more info on that B-5.
  All this is thanks to RATTLEMAN. I'm just a middle man...with a big middle.... Ha ha.      OT.
