That is a fine model Jean! There is nothing like an ungainly looking French 'tween -the-wars aircraft to pique the interest.

Again, well done Jean!

Great build, Jean!!

Not sure if I already complimented on HS, but this is really beatiful! I have the started kit in the stash, but lost motivation .. so I know it is a good job just to finish it, not to mention as perfect as you did.

Merry Xmas!

all the best

I love it. It's so ugly that it's awesome. It's like a flying house-boat.

Hi Jean,

Very fine work on the Loire. Not an easy aircraft to build, in every aspect!

Now you know that you are famous. People think they have seen you even when you weren't there!

Joyeux Noël à toi et tes proches. Passe de bonnes fêtes!

Beautiful build, Jean. Great job on her and the choice of markings is great. One has to love those colourful Vichy markings.

Thanks for sharing

Jean, Thanks for posting this. A great build and I love seeing these examples of non-mainstream, but nevertheless important, subjects and kits.

Formidable! (See, six years of french lessons weren't wasted on me after all)

Lol-
Then it must have been some other Jean Barby, indeed! Probably the spelling of his last name was different
What can I say: Hope you can make it to Telford in 2011 then!
Cheers,
