We love it when TAH articles (in this case Tragique: The Sud-Est SE.1010 in TAH 25) spark modelling projects. This photo came from Derbyshire subscriber David Hart: “Like many of my models, this is a ‘kit bash’ of the old school (think mid-’60s Airfix Mag). The fuselage owes something to a 1/100th-scale Tamiya Ilyushin Il-28 and Milliput filler. The wings started life as part of a 1/144th-scale B-17 from Crown; the engine nacelles started as part of a Minicraft KC-97, while the propellers are white-metal items from Welsh Models, intended for an Avro York. I see this as very much a sketch of the aircraft; I am visibly not a rivet-counter”. Merveilleuse!
This glorious photograph depicts CANT 10ter I-OLTE on a slipway at Turin in 1928.
