Beautiful, graceful airplane.

For such small scales, 3D is almost unavoidable when it comes to drawing aircraft with such complex volumes. But it's their originality that makes a collection so rich and eye-catching. And then there's the history of these planes ....
I'm waiting to see the rest of your montage, but the beginning is very promising. As far as I know, there's only one model of this aircraft available, and it's made of paper!

Wow my friend very nice and great subject! Congratulations to you and Philippe for design.

Totally the opposite philosophy to the 19, which was 'stuff stumpy red bomber full of fuel tanks'

[Rata]

Thanks for looking in everybody!

Inroads into landing gear yesterday. No tabs on those wheel fairings- I'm finding the laminating to double the thickness of certain parts like these and engine cowlings is working out nicely. The extra thickness allows edge joining which to me is much neater than fiddly, lumpy tabs. BTW, the nose radiator grille and cowl surround on this model got the same treatment.

Also shown here is a fascinating period image (Le Criquet includes such images with the model download PDF) of the 110's interior.

Cheers, GG

That mirror system for landing is interesting. I've seen many airplanes in this configuration (no forward visibility) but none of them were that large or had this mirror system.

Great model coming

Thanks Karol. I assume Lindberg's Ryan NYP had something similar.

About the radiator....According to the documentation I've been able to gather, the radiator's outline is indistinguishable in color from the rest of the cowling. Only the front grille is clearly visible. Nice progress.
For myself, a brief historical reminder is like a square of chocolate with a cup of coffee. True enthusiasts will appreciate it.

I just looked it up and yes,you are right. Ryan nyp had extendable periscope fitted to left side of plane. Somehow I always assumed that periscope was on bottom of the plane .

Right now I'm thinking today that would be done with computer screen and camera under nose ,much like some armored vehicles have it now. Mental picture of this is just too funny 🤣

[Rata]

They're replacing conventional mirrors with cameras on heavy vehicles. We have them on our newer buses at work. Some drivers say they're better but set-in-his-old-ways-me isn't all that fussed on them.
Piece of glass vs complex digital electronic system. What could possibly go wrong....?
