The US is where Garric is based, as is his aviation biz.

That is an amazing re-creation, and looks superb. Thank goodness for those prepared to 'step out of the box'!

Very nice! Are there any originals left?No, alas.Regards
I am not sure there are any French twins remaining from WWII. (This is where i hope someone steps in and proves me wrong).
Would be nice is the Musee de l'Air could have their own copy of an important and not too bad plane.

Let's hope! If they can bring the Caudron C.460 replica over to there from the USA, maybe they'll do the same with the Potez 63-11 replica.

What an excellent sight! I had no idea one of these was being made, makes a nice change as some have said.
If this does come to the UK, or more likely France, il have to go and see it. Otherwise looks like im off to Texas....

I have seen a couple of references to the 63-11 having as many as 12 light machine guns, making it the most heavily armed aircraft in the air at the time. I find this doubtful, but can anybody prove me wrong?

My apologies if this has been posted already (quick forum search found nothing).
A few pics of the first hops of Jean-Marie Garric's Potez 63-11 replica in the US:
