Great work and very cool, Stéphane. Didn't even know the type existed. I suppose is was scratch-built?

Thanks for all your comments. This plane was a 1933 mailplane prototype designed by Jean Charpentier. It was built in the Caudron factories and was destroyed in 1935 just after the take-off, the pilot Poivre was not a test pilot and certainly wasn't able to pilot this revolutionnary aircraft. I'm the manufacturer of this kit under the name France'41 🙂

Brave pilot, that thing must have had very poor longitudinal stability. 🙁

Every day, I get an education of what things were part of the rich history of aviation, and this is one beautiful example of that learning process.🙂 👍

what an obscure aircraft, but a beautiful model of this strange looking plane...
