Congratulations Jean Pierre on another piece of French Aviation History. The decals look great. So do the propellers! The cabin layout looks like it was laid out like a train with private suites or cabins or what you might find in a first class A380's suite today that still flies in 2021.

The swept wing is advanced design for it's day JP. The top deck was reserved for crew only interesting, I bet it made a good crew rest area. The steps on the hull are like The Short Brothers sea planes too. Is that something the Short bros learned from this aircraft? Anyway, love the model, your skills and steady hands serve you well. Thank you for the history JP. Great subject.
